Phoenix Sweep Red Wolves in Dominant Display

LEBANON, Tenn. - - Cumberland picked up their third win in a row on Thursday night as they swept IU East in three straight sets.

Joao Infante led the Phoenix in kills with 22 on a .581 hitting percentage, while Zendai Richards and Frederick Amegbletor chipped in with nine and eight respectively. Francesco Corradini helped out defensively with two kills while Alexander Heuer had nine digs on the night. Austin Kuehler helped the Phoenix out with 35 assists. Cumberland finished with a .425 hitting percentage and held their opponents to a .267.

It was the Phoenix who took an early lead with kills from Infante and Amegbletor settling any nerves. Cumberland went on a four point run early to increase the gap, and continued to put up points against the Red Wolves. IU East went on an incredible 1-8 run to level the set at 21-21, however, the Phoenix regained composure and a Richards kill secured the set 25-22.

An impressive 5-1 run from Cumberland that finished with an Audi Sethman service ace forced an IU East timeout at 9-4. Cumberland had all the momentum and with some efficient play put breathing space between themselves and the Red Wolves. 

The third set was a lot closer in the opening stages with both teams getting points on the board early, however, it was Cumberland who had their noses in front. The Phoenix made it a six point gap on a four point run at 21-15. A Richards kill ensured the Phoenix swept the Red Wolves on what was a dominant display. 

The Phoenix will be in action at the Dallas Floyd Phoenix Arena tomorrow night as they take on Rio Grande at 7PM CT.
