Lakeland makes initial foray into MCVL Tournament Friday vs MSOE

The Lakeland College men's volleyball team will make its debut in the Midwest Collegiate Volleyball League Tournament when it faces Milwaukee School of Engineering in a semifinal match Friday at 4 p.m. at Carthage College in Kenosha.

The third-seeded Muskies (17-8 overall) will take on the No. 2 seed Raiders (17-8 overall) in the first of two semifinals. Top seed Carthage will host fourth-seeded Dominican (Ill.) University in the second semifinal at 7 p.m., and the winners will face off in the championship match Saturday at 2 p.m.

Lakeland played its way into the MCVL tourney by defeating Dominican and Benedictine last weekend to finish 10-3 in league play. MSOE-ranked 13th in the latest AVCA/NCAA Division III Top 15 Coaches' Poll-defeated nationally ranked Mount St. Joseph (Ohio) in five sets to finish 12-1 in the MCVL this year.

MSOE won the teams' first match this year, scoring a 25-22, 22-25, 25-20, 25-15 victory at Lakeland three weeks ago. The Muskies lead the all-time series 4-3.
