The Brock men's volleyball team managed to take a set from the No. 2 McMaster Marauders in Hamilton on Jan. 31.

The Badgers lost 3-1 (19-25, 16-25, 25-20, 18-25) to the Marauders at Burridge Gymnasium.

After falling behind 2-0, the Badgers hit for .320 to win the third set.

"The third set we were consistently passing and giving us a chance to showcase our middles a bit more," said head coach Matt Ragogna. "I thought getting Dean Globocki into the lineup was a big boost for us and Grant Reddon spread the offence and ran the gameplan well."

Globocki added six kills on 10 swings while making four digs. He hit for .500.

Logan House registered 10 kills and Reddon handed out 26 assists in setting duties. Ethan Kalef, who made a number of sharp passes, led the team with six digs followed by Reddon (five) and Nanle Yusuf (five). Yusuf also posted eight kills. Mark Naqvi tallied three service aces.

Peter Schnabel recorded four blocks and picked up four kills (.571). Naqvi and Schnabel were both a force in the middle.

Brock outblocked McMaster 7-6.

"We got stuck in a few rotations from some tough serving and that made a difference for most of the sets," said Ragogna. "We had a very young lineup tonight and it was great to compete with one of the top ranked teams in Canada."

For the Marauders, Nathan Delguidice led the way with 17 kills.

Up next, the Badgers (5-8, OUA West 3-4) look to snap a three-game losing skid when they host the Waterloo Warriors (3-8) in their last regular season home game at Bob Davis Gymnasium on Friday, Feb. 7 at 8 p.m. Tickets are here.
