The Elizabethtown College men’s volleyball team participated in the Misericordia Tournament Feb. 1 and 2 going up against several different teams.

Even though the Jays went one and three in the tournament, junior Nick Baxter still earned a spot in the All-Tournament team for breaking the Continental Volleyball Conference record for kills in a single match.

Baxter worked tremendously hard, earning a whopping 37 kills against Trine Univeristy in the third game of the tournament.

In the opening match against the hosts, Baxter earned only 12 kills with first-year Tim Zieber putting up 21 assists.

Sophomore Joey Nelson also had 11 digs for a team-best against the Cougars, but the opponent pulled through for the win, sending the Jays to their next match searching for success.

But when Etown went up against Trine on day two, the scores were back and forth jumping from set to set, leaving the winner up to the last game.

First-year Mark Hall and Baxter combined for a crucial block just in time to allow the opponent to make an attacking error, leaving the Jays a point away.

Senior Ethan Maurer made sure he gave the team a chance to take the lead with a kill and then another for the ensured lead.

A service error furthered the success and ultimately ended with a 3-2 takeaway for Etown.

The men’s volleyball team will host Kean University Saturday, Feb. 9 at 11 a.m.
