National Champs 2014. MIVA Champs 2015. Be ready for another
National Championship for the Loyola Men’s Volleyball team, as they head west
to Palo Alto, California to compete in the NCAA tournament. They have had a great
season with an overall record of 25-2, both losses coming from Lewis who they recently
defeated to win the MIVA for the third straight year. They go into the
tournament ranked 3rd, matched up with Pfeiffer (Ranked 6th)
in the first round. In the semi-final they will face #2 seed, U.C. Irvine.
In the match against Lewis Peter Hutz recorded a match-high
51 assists to earn a spot on the All-Tournament Team along with teammates Thomas
Jaeschke, Cody Caldwell and Ricky Gevis. Jaeschke had a match-high 20 kills and
a .486 hitting percentage. He also had three assists and two service aces. Gevis
matched his career-high with 13 kills and Caldwell had 11. Jaeschke was also
named MIVA player of the year and Off The Block/Springbak Inc., National Server
of the Year.
I have never watched them play in person, only online but they
are amazing. It is incredible watching guys play. It is so much different than
the girls’ game, but at the same time has so many similarities. It is awesome
to know that there are guys out there that share the same passion with
volleyball that I do. It is going to be awesome going to Loyola and having
support from guys that play, and supporting the natty champs :)
