Last Week Recap
Men's Volleyball traveled to Arizona for spring break to take on some West Coast teams for some nonconference action. They first played #10 Benedictine Mesa, falling 3-0 for the first time this year. It didn't look the Golden Eagles we know as they struggled to hit as they hit just .184 for the match while Mesa took control of their struggling offense and defense to a .411 hitting percentage. They would then look to rebound against OUAZ and struggled once again to their second straight 3-0 sweep where the Golden Eagles just didn't look themselves.
 
They are now back in Michigan where they look to regroup and hopefully feel refreshed for the second half of the season.
