The Lead: Playing one more match from the Bast Center Gym was not in the Roanoke men's volleyball team's favor as the Maroons dropped a 3-0 CVC contest with Marymount on Saturday afternoon.

Highlights:

• The Saints jumped out to an early lead and were able to maintain a three to four-point advantage on Roanoke for most of the early part of the first set. By midway through they were able to build a seven-point lead before closing out the first set 25-13. 
• The second set saw the Maroons go on a 6-1 run early for the 8-5 lead. However, a quick 4-0 run in response for Marymount put them on top 9-8. Roanoke would have the lead at 11-10 before the teams would trade points with the Saints having a 16-15 advantage. Marymount then went on an 8-0 run to get to nonuple set point. The Maroons saved two set points before the Saints claimed the second set 25-17.
• The final set saw both teams make small runs with the score tied at 12-12. The Saints followed with a three-point run which was immediately answered by the Maroons with a 3-0 of their own. A 5-0 would stretch the led before Roanoke pulled back within one at 22-21. The Saints claimed the final three points for the 3-0 set win over the Maroons. 
• Michael Cummins led the Maroons with five kills while Connor Tyson was right behind him with four. Davin Stevenson dished out a team-high 13 assists.
