Ty Hurdle and his Queens Men's Volleyball teammates battled in their second five-setter in a row against Quincy, but fell by a score of 3-2 (23-25, 25-17, 25-22, 13-25, 10-15).
After falling in the first set by two points, a win-hungry Queens squad attacked early in the next two sets. Queens held multiple seven-point leads with the help of Shaphar Grant on the block to secure an eight-point win in the second, and pieced together a three-point win in the third to take the 2-1 set advantage over Quincy.
Quincy found a momentum-booster in the fourth set after a seven-point unanswered run gave their squad a 20-11 lead. Despite solid offensive runs led by Jack Brinkman, Quincy would tie the night at two sets a piece.
In the fifth, both sides of the net battled point-by-point before Quincy mustered up two consecutive points from an AJ Goedheer kill and a Queens attack error. Chance Shampine put back a kill to keep it at a one-point game before another two-point run gave Quincy the three-point advantage. Stirling Sims would slam another kill down to halt the Hawks, but a late three-point rally would solidify a final 15-10 Quincy triumph.
