Tigers find groove with stellar third set, sweep Saturday's matches with win over Goshen

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — The finale of three matches on Saturday ended in another Campbellsville University men's volleyball sweep as the Tigers took down Goshen in straight sets, 26-24, 25-20, 25-15. 
 
Campbellsville (7-2) was led by Rafael Cruz's 11 kills on 25 attacks and only two errors. He also finished with five digs, two blocks and two aces. 
 
Campbellsville out-hit the Maple Leafs, .375 to .133 overall with 42 kills compared to only 25 for Goshen (4-3). 
 
The first set was a nail bitter that went to extra points but it was CU coming out on top. The Tigers led early, 4-1, and later 17-13, but Goshen rallied back to tie the opening set at 21-all. Both teams went back and forth until an ace by Ramos Matos put CU ahead, 25-24, and an attack error by the Maple Leafs gave CU the opening set. 
 
In set two, it was the Tigers jumping out to a 12-7 lead thanks to a Cruz kill off an assist from Jose Viera. Out of a timeout by Goshen, Campbellsville extended its lead to five, 17-12, but the Maple Leafs rallied once again with a 4-0 run forcing the Tigers to call a timeout. Out of that break, it was all Campbellsville. 
 
The third set, the Tigers hit a match-high .524 with 13 kills on 21 attacks and a match-low two errors. Goshen hit a match-low .050 in the final frame. 
 
The Tigers were led by Jeremy Hernandez's 18 assists, while Ryan Smith pitched in 13. Defensively, Jay Montalvo tallied 14 digs. 
 
Campbellsville will now head into Mid-South Conference play next weekend, Thursday, Feb. 11 as the Tigers travel to Cumberland University with first serve at 8 p.m. ET. The Tigers return home on Saturday, Feb. 13 to host Carlow University and Thomas More University.
