Cougars Rock Regents

River Forest, Ill.- Concordia University Chicago (8-3; 1-1 NACC) traveled to Rockford University (0-11; 0-1 NACC) looking to capture their first conference win. The Cougars would take care of business and pick up their first NACC win of the 2020 season (25-17, 25-17, 23-25, 25-15).
 
Turning Point:  CUC picked up the first two sets in no time at all. In set three they would fall in a nail biter and be forced to play in a fourth set. Ryan Felbinger would set the tone in the final set and spark a 4-0 run after his scoring spike. 
 
Inside the Box Score:
  • Concordia-Chicago registered 56 kills, 20 more than the Regents (36).
  • Matthew Geiser recorded six aces and 10 digs.
  • Freshman phenom Luke Vozenilek (21) led the kill chart once again, followed by Geiser (10) and Brian Perez (9)
  • Trent Weber led CUC with 50 assists.
  • As a team, the Cougars hit .571 in set one, and .538 in set four.
  • In each set, Concordia recorded double digit kills, counting all the way up to 16 in the final set. 
 
Quick Recap:

  • Concordia-Chicago would answer with a five-point run of their own to take the lead.
  • Three straight Vozenilek kills capped off a 10-4 run that gave the Cougars a 17-11 lead.
  • Two attack errors would clinch set one for CUC, winning by a score of 25-17.
  • Perez and Geiser took over in the beginning of set two. Both players recorded consecutive kills, giving the Cougars a 10-5 advantage.
  • The Regents would cut it to 15-13 but not be able to handle the Concordia attack the rest of the way, dropping set two 25-17 once again.
  • Set three saw the Cougars leading 21-18 late. Despite the late lead, they would not hold on and Rockford would find a way to win the set.
  • Now playing with fire, Concordia-Chicago registered three kills and opened up the final set with four points that went unanswered.
  • The Regents continually could not find an answer for the CUC attack, and Felbinger would bring home the 25-15 set win with a big-time kill.
