Royals Fall 3-0 to NAIA Defending Champion Lions to Open GSAC Play

Fullerton, CA – The Hope International men's volleyball team (4-6, 0-1 GSAC) fell 3-0 to the No. 3 defending NAIA Champion Vanguard University Lions to open up GSAC play at home on Wednesday evening in the Darling Pavilion.

The defending Champion Lions got off to a quick start as they opened on a 5-1 run before going on to take a 16-10 advantage. The Royals fought back with a Julian Zavala kill making it 16-12 but the Lions had all the answers as they went on to lead 20-13. The Royals tried to get back in it but were unable to mount a run as they fell 25-18 and trailed 1-0. It was a similar story in the second set as the Lions opened on a 5-1 run before going on to lead 15-8. The Royals would call timeout and answered with a 3-0 run as Sergio Garcia setup Zavala again to make it 15-11 but again the Lions had all the answers as the Royals fell 25-18 and trailed 2-0. The Royals fought to stay alive in the third set as a kill by Prowse kept it close at 13-12 but once again the Lions seized control with a 5-1 run to take an 18-13 lead. The Royals didn't give up as a block by Garcia and Kyler Tufuga pulled the Royals with 20-18 but that's as close as they got as they fell 25-21 and 3-0. Zavala led with 11 kills while Garcia had 18 assists.

The Royals continue GSAC play on the road as they head to Santa Clarita, CA to take on No. 1 The Master's on Friday, February 23 at 6:00 PM.
