Fourth-Set Rout seals Cumberland's First RSC Victory of the Season

MIDWAY, Ky.--Cumberland men's volleyball opened River States Conference play with a four set victory over Midway on Tuesday in Kentucky.

The Phoenix improved to 6-1 on the season with the win and 1-0 in River States Conference play. The Phoenix took control early, winning the first two sets before closing out the match with a dominant fourth-set performance.

Zendai Richards led the Phoenix with a match-high 15 kills while hitting .393, adding three blocks and seven digs. Nage Hendrickson provided nine kills on a .467 clip, while Frederick Amegbletor and Francesco Corradini each chipped in five kills, with both players hitting .833. Abdallah Roshdy orchestrated the offense with 34 assists, also adding seven digs and two service aces.

Defensively, Corradini was a force at the net with six blocks, while Amegbletor and Richards each recorded three. The Phoenix held Midway to a .000 hitting percentage for the match, forcing 31 attack errors. The Phoenix hit .333 on the match posting 44 kills with 15 errors. Cumberland also out-blocked Midway 10-2 and out-dug them 27-26.

Cumberland started strong in the opening set, hitting an impressive .455 as they took a 25-20 victory. Richards led the charge with several key kills, while Corradini contributed at the net with timely blocks. The Phoenix maintained their edge in the second set, overcoming a scrappy Midway squad to secure a 25-23 win, giving them a 2-0 lead in the match.

Midway responded in the third set, capitalizing on Cumberland's errors to take a 25-18 win and force a fourth frame. However, the Phoenix regrouped and delivered their most dominant set of the night, hitting .556 and limiting Midway to just six kills. Cumberland cruised to a 25-9 win to seal the match, securing their first conference victory of the season.

Cumberland returns to action on Thursday with a road matchup at Tusculum, rescheduled from last week. The Phoenix will then return to conference play at home this weekend, hosting Rio Grande on Friday for their home opener before taking on IU East on Saturday.
