Kinney Records Double-Double in Loss to Lakeland

DUBUQUE, Iowa (Duhawks.com) - Despite a double-double out of sophomore Greg Kinney, the Loras men's volleyball team fell to Lakeland at home on Saturday in four sets (25-22, 19-25, 25-21, 25-21). Kinney was one of three players on Saturday to finish with 10 or more digs, as junior Dylan Ross added 14 and sophomore Alfredo Lopez contributed with 11.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Set One
  • After falling to a 12-8 deficit, the Duhawks capitalized on strong serving from Kinney and three Muskie attack errors to pull within even at 12-all. 
  • A kill from Lakeland's Matijevic combined with a Loras attacking error sealed the first set for the Muskies, 25-22. 

Set Two
  • Two service aces from Lakeland gave the Muskies an early 6-2 lead to begin the second set before head coach Jeremy Thornburg called a timeout.
  • Loras earned their first lead of the set after Ross went on a serving run with the help of two kills from Kinney and a service ace to take a 9-7 lead. 
  • A pair of kills from sophomore Aaron Miller and a service ace from Lopez earned the Duhawks a second-set victory. 

Set Three
  • The beginning of the third set saw Loras and Lakeland exchange points evenly until three straight Duhawk errors brought the score to 16-13 in favor of Lakeland. 
  • Two kills from Muskies earned Lakeland their second set victory of the night, 25-21. 

Set Four
  • Four errors in seven points kept the momentum with the Muskies as Lakeland pulled ahead 6-1 to start the fourth set. 
  • Errors continued to hurt the Duhawks towards the end of the set, as the Muskies earned three-straight points to walk away with a 25-21 fourth set win. 

FRIEDMAN GROUP PLAYER OF THE GAME
Greg Kinney | The sophomore finished the day with 15 kills and 16 digs for Kinney's third double-double of the season. Kinney hit .306 on the match and added two block assists for Loras. 

NOTABLES
  • The Duhawks finished the night with 46 assists, as compared to only 35 for Lakeland, 25 of which came from the hands of Lopez. 
  • With his career-best 16 dig effort, Kinney surpassed 300 for his career
  • Ross moved to within one kill of 500 for his career
  • Peters' career-best eight kills moved the sophomore past the 100 mark in his career
