PLYMOUTH, Wis. – The Lakeland University men's volleyball team delivered one of the most efficient hitting performances in the program's nine-year varsity history in sweeping Wisconsin Lutheran College in three quick sets Wednesday night at the Moose & Dona Woltzen Gymnasium.

The Muskies finished with a .500 hitting percentage for the match and set a program record for fewest attack errors in a match in a 25-14, 25-15, 25-9 victory in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference match. Lakeland defeated Wisconsin Lutheran for the third time this season and improved to 5-6 overall and won its second straight in conference to improve to 2-4 in the NACC.

Lakeland was nearly flawless and finished with 32 kills and just three errors in 58 attack attempts for the match. The .500 attack percentage is the second-best in a match in the program's varsity history, behind only a .508 mark with 38 kills and six errors in 63 attacks against Lancaster Bible (Pa.) College Jan. 18, 2014, in the Muskies' third-ever match as a varsity team.

Ben Busalacchi (So.-Muskego, Wis.) and Cameron Ekum (Sr.-Wales, Wis.) both were flawless and effective, with Busalacchi posting nine kills without an error in 11 attacks (.818 hitting percentage) and Ekum finishing with seven kills without an error in nine attacks (.778 hitting percentage). Matt Misheck (Sr.-Oak Forest, Ill.) also added nine kills.

The Muskies trailed briefly early in the first and second sets, including WLC holding its latest lead at 7-6 in the first set after a kill by Joe Flett, who added to the list of impressive hitting performances on the night by tying his career high with 12 kills. Lakeland took control by the midway point of the first two sets and then controlled the third set from almost the start, including Ekum contributing three kills in a 5-0 run to take an early 6-1 lead.

The Muskies also added ten service aces, including four by Ekum and three by Misheck. Ekum improved his season total to 34 aces, the third-most in a season in Lakeland varsity history and just six shy of tying the record of 40 aces set by Tyler Boyce in 2014.

Ekum also finished with 21 assists and Drew Green (Jr.-Brooklyn Center, Minn.) added a team-high six digs.

Flett finished with 12 of the 19 kills for Wisconsin Lutheran (0-14 overall, 0-5 NACC), which hit -.014 with 19 kills and 20 errors. Isaac Stellick added 16 assists and six digs and James Biedenbender finished with a match-high eight digs.

Lakeland next will take to the road to face Edgewood College on Saturday at 1 p.m. in Madison.
