Firebirds to Much For Royals to Overcome in 3-0 Defeat

Encinitas, CA – The Hope International men's volleyball team (5-10) battled hard but fell 3-0 to the University of Saint Katherine Firebirds on Tuesday afternoon on the road in Encinitas, CA.

The first set was back and forth as the Firebirds took an early 8-6 lead but the Royals came right back to go up 9-8 on a block by Sean Seaman and Coby Prowse. The teams would then trade the lead again until a 3-1 run led by a solo block from Sergio Garcia put the Royals up 17-15. The Firebirds would quickly tie it but a kill by Prowse put the Royals back up 18-17. The Firebirds had all the answers as they closed the set on an 8-1 run as the Royals fell 25-19 and trailed 1-0. The Firebirds continued their momentum into the second set as they took a 12-8 lead but the Royals stayed close as a Kyler Tufuga kill pulled them within 13-11. The Royals would keep battling but the Firebirds were to much as the Royals fell 25-17 and trailed 2-0. The Royals looked to survive in the third set as they started with an 8-5 lead led by a kill from Julian Zavala but once again the Firebirds came back to take a 16-12 lead. The Firebirds would go on to lead 19-16 before the Royals came to life on a 4-0 run with a block by Bradyn Hipa putting them up 20-19. It was all Firebirds from there though as they closed the game on a 5-1 run as the Royals fell 25-21 and 3-0. Prowse led the Royals with 8 kills.

The Royals continue action on the road as they travel to Northern California to take on Simpson on Thursday, March 14 at 6:00 PM in Redding, CA.
