ST. LOUIS – [BOX SCORE] The Missouri Baptist men's volleyball team honored their four seniors in their final regular season home game with a 3-2 win against Quincy University on Monday evening.

The second set proved to be a different story as Missouri Baptist came out with the lead. Quincy came back in effort to take the set, but with Chris Flood toeing the service line the Spartans broke away to take the set 25-23.

The teams fought tooth and nail through the third set with several volleys before the deciding point. MBU got the upper hand however and closed the set 25-22.

The fourth set proved just how evenly matched the teams were as the teams stayed within a range of four points of each other with 10 ties in set four alone. The Hawks came out in the fourth set not willing to give in and robbed the Spartans of the fourth set with a final score of 25-22.

With another battle on their hands, Missouri Baptist put everything they had to come out with the win and held the Hawks to a 0 hitting percentage and only allowing four kills in the set. Sean Benedict stepped up to the service line on game point and closed out the game for the Spartans with an ace for a 16-14 victory.
