Chicago I.L.- The Le Moyne College volleyball team completed the weekend sweep of Chicago State with a four-set victory on Saturday at the Jacoby Dickens Center. After dropping a back-and-forth opening set, the Dolphins won the next three, 25-19, 25-21 and 25-16, to take the match 3-1 (26-28, 25-19, 25-21, 25-16).

The first set was tightly contested, with both sides holding leads during it. However it was Chicago State who took the first set, 28-26. The Dolphins led 24-21 in the final frame  and held two set points, but the Cougars scored seven of the final nine points to steal the victory. Le Moyne bounced back in the second set. The Dolphins built a 15-7 lead but were unable to bold it as Chicago State pulled even at 19-19. A six point run from Le Moyne ended the set with a victory for the Dolphins. 

In the third, the Dolphins took a 4-0 lead out of the gate, and Le Moyne led by as many as seven at 12-5. The Cougars answered with a 5-0 run to cut it to 12-10, and the set was tied at 20-20 before the Dolphins closed on a 5-1 run. The Dolphins controlled the fourth as Le Moyne jumped out to a 4-1 lead. The Dolphins didn't put their foot off the gas as they reeled off 11 straight points. Le Moyne sealed the set victory, and the match with a deceive 25-16 score
