COSTA MESA, Calif. (uj.edu<\/a>) —\u00a0<\/strong>The University of Jamestown men’s volleyball team earned its first win over a top-10 opponent in program history on Tuesday, defeating No. 8 Vanguard University 3-1. Set scores were 25-17, 21-25, 25-19, 25-15.<\/p>\n

Jamestown (11-2)\u00a0had been 0-2 against ranked opponents this season, falling to No. 2 Grand View (Iowa) University and No. 3 Park (Mo.) University, but put together a strong performance in defeating the Lions at home.<\/p>\n

The first set was even throughout, with Vanguard taking a 12-11 lead. UJ rattled off seven straight points to pull ahead 18-12 and the Lions were unable to get within five points the rest of the set. Leading 22-16, Jamestown got its final three points on Vanguard attack errors.<\/p>\n

UJ played from behind in the second set, eventually tying the set at 15. The Lions took six of the next seven points to go ahead 21-16 and eventually closed out the set with a Jimmie attack error and a pair of kills.<\/p>\n

Jamestown responded in the third set, taking a 12-7 lead before Vanguard got as close as 16-14. Kills by Austin Jacob<\/a> (FR\/Houston, Texas) and Clark Steele<\/a> (JR\/Lake Forest, Calif.) bookended a pair of Lion attack errors as UJ went ahead 20-15.<\/p>\n

In the fourth set, Vanguard managed to get as close as 7-7, but the Jimmies went on a 9-3 run to create some space and gain the momentum. Back-to-back kills by Caylor Cox<\/a> (FR\/Helena, Mont.) made it 21-14, then three straight Vanguard attack errors and a Nick Vanags<\/a> (FR\/San Diego, Calif.) kill closed out the match.<\/p>\n

Steele hit a season-high .579 with 25 kills in 38 attempts to pace the offense. Derek Owens<\/a> (FR\/Andover, Minn.) hit a team-best .643 with 10 kills and the duo of Jacob and Cox each had six kills.<\/p>\n

Derek Correa<\/a> (FR\/Vega Baja, Puerto Rico) passed out 42 assists in helping the Jimmies hit a season-best .505 as a team. Jamestown has posted its top two match hitting percentage in each of its last two contests.<\/p>\n

Braden Neumann<\/a> (JR\/Costa Mesa, Calif.) led the defense with 11 digs, followed by Cox with seven and Steele with six. Owens recorded four total blocks, including three block assists.<\/p>\n

The Jimmies will play a pair of exhibition contests against Pepperdine University and Concordia-Irvine on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, then will be at The Master’s (Calif.) University on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
