MEDDAC’s Chris Evans wins the battle at the net with ADF’s Sean Brooks Monday at Wells Field House.
Volleyball welcomed the spring intramural sports season at Wells Field House Monday with 12 teams in action for the first games of the season.
ADF-B and MEDDAC faced off in the evening’s first showdown. Despite ADF’s dominance over the first two matches with 25-21 and 25-14 victories, respectively, MEDDAC came away with a win in the final match of the evening, 15-6.
Despite a close opening match with even play across the board, ADF came away with a four-point win, 25-21.
MEDDAC sought payback in the second match, playing from nine points down in the early minutes to pull within six points and a 18-12 deficit. ADF not only continued to put up points of its own, but also shut down MEDDAC’s attack effectively, allowing its opponent only two more points on the way to a 25-14 win.
By the third match, ADF’s strong efforts were marred by fatigue. Errant returns and weak volleys into the net gave MEDDAC an opportunity to jump to an early 5-2 lead.
ADF refused to quit and clawed its way back within a point, 7-6. The sixth point scored, however, would be ADF’s last of the night, as MEDDAC went on to take eight unanswered points.
