Phoenix Fall to No. 14 Ranked Campbellsville in Straight Sets

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - - Cumberland Men's Volleyball fell in straight sets to the surging Campbellsville Tigers, wrapping up regular season play.

Going down 4-1 in the first set, the Phoenix bounced back to win six straight points and take a 7-4 lead, though the home side would find their way right back into the match. Rallying back to make it just a two-point deficit at 12-10, the Tigers flipped a switch and won eight of the next ten points, never looking back in the set.

The normally fruitful Phoenix attack was stymied in the opener, hitting negative 18% with the Campbellsville block being strong, helping the home CU take it, 25-21.

The second frame was not so kind to the Phoenix as the first, falling down 6-2 and struggling to make their way into it. At 15-8, Cumberland managed to win three points in a row with an ace and a pair of kills from Jacob Whyte and Zendai Richards, but Tigers kept their distance to win the second set with the same score as the first, 25-21.

With all of the momentum going into the third set, the Tigers made quick work of the Phoenix. Going up 10-5, Cumberland never was able to get a foothold in the set and the no. 14 team in the country were able to take the final set, 25-14.

Cumberland will now wait for all conference teams to finish their regular season play and take part in River States postseason action.
