Despite 51 team kills - including 25 from sophomore Justin Brubaker - the Crimson Eagles were comparitively limited to a .179 hitting percentage throughout the evening. Stevens' also managed a distinct 14.5 to 4 edge in total blocks.

Leandro Dueck added 14 kills and nine digs in PBU's second consecutive loss and senior Ben Fuller chipped in with eight kills and seven digs.

The Crimson Eagles will have minimal time to recouperate as the squad will host longtime rival Lancaster Bible College tomorrow night in the Mason Activity Center at 7:00 pm.
