How It Happened

• The Mighty Macs put up a fight in the first set and led 15-12 midway through. At that time Drew Klein (So., Glen Allen, Va. / Glen Allen) sparked an 8-1 rally with a kill to put the Lemon and Black up for good. Four of the eight points were on kills as Klein and Kolby Gibson (Jr., Bumpass, Va. / Louisa) had a pair each. Klein also had a solo block at the end to make the score 20-16. The last five points all came via the offense as Klein kept up the momentum with three of the final five kills.
• In the second, Macon took control from the get-go and jumped out to an 11-3 lead. A pair of solo blocks from Sean Cunningham (Jr., Virginia Beach, Va. / Kempsville) and Klein helped pave the way and limit the Mighty Macs to a hitting percentage of just .038 in the game. On the opposite end the Jackets kept control by scoring eight of the last 10 points down the stretch to take a 2-0 lead.
• Another early lead followed suit in the third as the Jackets went up 10-5 following a Mitchell Wyatt (Fr., Prince George, Va. / Prince George) kill. A 6-1 run put the score at 19-10 after blocks from Scotty Carter (Sr., Virginia Beach, Va. / Frank W. Cox) and Owen Hahn (Fr., Henrico, Va. / Tucker). Immaculata scored six points down the stretch, but the comeback attempt was futile as Wyatt finished off the match with a kill.

Inside The Numbers

• Klein finished the day with 12 kills on 23 swings for a hitting percentage of .348. Cade Terrell (So., Glen Allen, Va. / Deep Run) set up the attack with 21 assists before gave way to James Manning (Jr., Glen Allen, Va. / Glen Allen) who tallied six in the third. Klein also laid down three of the team's seven aces.
• Klein led the way defensively as well with 10 digs for his second double-double of the year.
• R-MC hit .309 for the match with 38 kills, two shy of their season-best in three set matches set yesterday against Elizabethtown.
• The Jackets' front line limited the Mighty Macs to a hitting percentage of .059. R-MC played progressively better as Immaculata hit .200, .038, and -.069, respectively, in their three sets.

CVC Tournament

• While the Jackets still have three matches left in the regular season, they have clinched the No. 5 seed in the CVC Tournament that starts a week from Tuesday. If Juniata defeats Elizabethtown on Tuesday, the Jackets will play at Marymount.

Up Next

The regular season has three matches left on the slate for the Jackets. First up will be a rematch with Carolina University on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
