Redding, CA – The Hope International men's volleyball team (5-10) got a much needed win on the road as they took down the Simpson University Red Hawks 3-1 on Thursday evening on the road in Redding, CA.

The second set was all Red Hawks as they took the early lead before going on to win 25-19 and tie the game 1-1. The Royals just didn't have an answer in the second set as they were unable to string more than two points together at a time. 

The third set was a battle as the game swung back in forth with a kill by Prowse putting the Royals up 15-13. The Red Hawks kept it close but the Royals had an answer everytime as they went on to win 25-21 off a kill and forced error by Prowse to take a 2-1 lead. The Royals continued their momentum into the fourth set as they took an early 10-5 lead. The Red Hawks came back to tie it 10-10 but the Royals seized control on a 7-2 run with back to back service aces from Sergio Garcia to make it 17-12. The Royals would go on to win 25-16 as a kill from Andrew Delgado-Tietze gave them a 3-1 win. Zavala led with 17 kills while Garcia had 32 assists.
