GREENVILLE, Ill. – A two-day trip to the St. Louis area was a success for the Lakeland University men's volleyball volleyball team, which won two more matches Saturday to conclude a 3-0 weekend.

The Muskies played in a triangular hosted by Greenville (Ill.) College on Saturday and opened with a 25-21, 25-17, 25-17 sweep of Greenville in a Midwest Collegiate Volleyball League match. Lakeland then topped Illinois Institute of Technology in four sets 25-17, 22-25, 25-14, 25-16, evening its record at 5-5 this season (2-2 MCVL).

The Muskies trailed only briefly over the course of three sets against host Greenville (3-8 overall, 1-7 MCVL), hitting a solid .333 with 36 kills and just 10 errors. Tim Robbins (Sr.-Wheaton, Ill.) and Matt Stolz (Sr.-Wauwatosa, Wis.) both had nine kills to lead a balanced attack and Addison Mertler (So.-Boca Raton, Fla.) set up the offense with 33 assists.

Lakeland also was strong on the serve with eight service aces, including five by Desmond Williams (So.-Riverside, Calif.). The Muskies rounded out a solid performance with 8.5 team blocks, including four by Williams (one solo, three assisted) and three each by Robbins and Dakota Hunter (So.-Waukesha, Wis.).

Lakeland also dominated much of the way against Illinois Tech (2-10 overall), never trailing in three of the four sets. Stolz finished with 15 kills and also added a team-high nine digs plus four blocks (two solo, two assisted), part of the Muskies' 10 blocks as a team.

Robbins also finished with eight kills in 12 attacks and Casey Bolda (Sr.-Honolulu, Hawaii) finished with six kills, seven digs and three service aces. Williams added five block assists, Mertler led the team with 21 assists and Noah Cotterman (So.-Glendale, Ariz.) also added 14 assists.

The Muskies now can take a break until their next match on Friday when they host Wittenberg (Ohio) University at 7 p.m. at the Moose & Dona Woltzen Gymnasium.
