In Short
The Loyola University Chicago men's volleyball team fell short to George Mason, 3-0 tonight in Fairfax, Va. Virginia native Cole Schlothauer tallied double-digit kills for the eighth time this season, leading the Ramblers with 10. Kyle Piekarski hit a team-high .364 attack percentage, registering six kills.
 
How It Happened
Loyola had a bit of a rough start in the first set, allowing George Mason to go on a 12-2 run. Following two Loyola timeouts, the Ramblers made their way to a slight 15-7 comeback with a Luke Denton and Anton Frank block and an eventual 3-0 scoring run. Ultimately, Loyola produced a negative hitting percentage despite recording 28 attacks. George Mason won the set, 25-15.
 
Seeing improvement in set two, Schlothauer launched a couple kills to help the Ramblers redeem themselves for an early 3-2 lead. The teams exchanged back and forth points before George Mason pulled ahead, 8-5 and forced a Loyola timeout. Denton and Frank came up with another well-timed block to come closer, 9-8. Devin Joslyn then tallied back-to-back kills followed by a huge block from Ian Cowen, Joslyn and Piekarski to take a 13-12 lead. Despite the Ramblers hitting a much improved .242 percent, George Mason was able to pull away in the final points. Piekarski recorded a huge solo block to close the deficit, 22-19, but Mason took set two, 25-20.

George Mason went on a 4-0 run to lead 12-7 in the third set, forcing another Loyola timeout. The Ramblers put pressure on George Mason with kills from Schlothauer, Frank and Piekarski, but GMU held their lead, 18-12.
