Phoenix Push No.5 Tigers to Fifth Set but Can't get Over Final Hurdle

LEBANON, Tenn. - - Despite coming from two sets down to force a fifth set, Cumberland fell to No.5 Campbellsville. 

Joao Infante led the way in attack for the Phoenix with 23 kills and a .231 hitting percentage while Zendai Richards and Frederick Amegbletor both chipped in with 14 and 10 respectively. Cumberland racked up 12 service aces with Alexander Heuer taking four of them while Audi Sethman and Infante both had three a piece. Heuer also had 16 digs on the night. Francesco Corradini was impressive in defense for the Phoenix with six blocks. Austin Kuehler helped out with 26 assists while Abdallah Roshdy chipped in with 18 of his own. Cumberland finished with a .226 hitting percentage. 

In the first set it was the Phoenix who got themselves up 7-2 quickly. However, the Tigers responded with a five point run to bring the set level. Cumberland regained their lead through a number of kills from Amegbletor, Infante, and Corradini. Campbellsville found a run of form late in the set with another six point run to take the lead and force a Cumberland timeout in an attempt to kill their momentum. The set was tight until the very end, but it was Campbellsville who edged it 24-26. 

The second set saw both sides get points on the board early and was back and forth much like the first. It took until the middle of the set for Campbellsville to go on a 1-6 run to put some breathing space between themselves and the Phoenix. The visitors had the momentum and managed to ease to a 20-25 win. 

Both sides battled in the third set with the pressure on Cumberland to stop Campbellsville sweeping. A Heuer service ace gave the Phoenix a two point lead which they held until the Tigers clawed it back at 14-14. Infante stepped up when his team needed him in the final moments of the set, with the senior making four kills in the last six points to ensure the set went the way of the Phoenix and forced a fourth set. 

Cumberland had the wind in their sails at this point and with back to back service aces from Sethman found themselves 11-6 up. Campbellsville went on a five point run, however, Cumberland were quick to reply with a four point run of their own including an Infante service ace and a Mason Bryan kill. A huge block at the net from Kuehler, and Infante gave the Phoenix the final point and forced the fifth set. 

The fifth set was level at 6-6 with both teams displaying some great volleyball. The visitors went on an impressive 1-7 run that would take them to match point. Despite the Phoenix pulling three back, a Pedro Zavatini kill wrapped up the set 11-15 in favor of Campbellsville. 

The Phoenix will hit the road for their final game in the regular season on April 10 as they face No.14 Georgetown College.
