Cliff men's volleyball opens 2020 with win

BC men's volleyball started the 2020 season with a 3-1 win over Culver-Stockton in Canton, Missouri Friday night. After a rocky first set, the Chargers took the next three games in dominant fashion to start the season 1-0. Setter Kyle Cox recorded 49 assists in the victory, putting him in a tie for third in Briar Cliff's record book for single-match sets in his first contest for the Blue and Gold.

"We were a bit rough around the edges and not as sharp as we need to be," said head coach Trevor Schirman. "The men did a great job taking advice from the bench and executing adjustments."

After going up 21-11 in game one, the Chargers allowed the Wildcats back into the game with an 11-0 run and Culver-Stockton went on to win the set 28-26. BC again jumped out to a big lead in the second set, but this time held held onto the margin and won 25-13. The Cliff took game three 25-22 and game four 25-9.
