ROMEOVILLE, ILL. — The Queens University of Charlotte men's volleyball team faced a tough challenge against ranked Lewis on the road, ultimately falling in straight sets (13-25, 23-25, 20-25) at Neil Carey Arena.

POSTGAME COMMENTS
"Tough night, but bottom line we have to pass a lot better than what we did tonight," head coach Jeremy Price said. "We came out and did not handle the service pressure very well. When we passed well, we did okay, when we did not, it was reflected in the scoring. I thought that Matthew Pilch was pretty solid along with Chance [Shampine] and Carson [Strawbridge]. We're going to have to pass much better to get our middles involved."
