Game Recap: Men's Volleyball | 2/19/2021 9:29:00 PM

FAIRFAX, Va. – The No. 13 Mason men's volleyball team (6-1, 3-0) defeated Saint Francis (Pa.) (1-11, 0-5) in straight sets (25-7, 25-21, 25-18) on Friday night inside the RAC.

The Patriot defense proved to be too much for the Red Flash, as Mason held Saint Francis to a season-low in hitting percentage (.012) on the night. The Green & Gold forced 18 attacking errors against the Red Flash and tallied a total of seven blocks.

"I thought our blocking defense did a nice job of transitioning tonight," head coach Jay Hosack said. "We were doing well in that category. I like getting Jack Bolz in the lineup and getting him a few rounds, his blocking has improved tremendously throughout the year. It will be a dogfight tomorrow night and we look forward to fighting a good Saint Francis team."

The sweep gives Mason their fifth-straight victory, including four sweeps in that five-game span. The Patriots remain the only unbeaten team in the EIVA and stand alone at the number one spot in the conference standings.
