SAN DIEGO – Lewis' sixth ranked men's volleyball team picked up its second straight win on Saturday evening sweeping UC San Diego at RIMAC Arena in San Diego. The Flyers improve to 3-1 on the season while the Tritons fall to 1-1.

Lewis used a 9-2 run early in the opening set to turn a one-point deficit into a 14-8 advantage. Tyler Mitchem (Bolingbrook, Ill./Bolingbrook HS), Kyle Bugée (Cupertino, CA, Homestead) and Ryan Coenen (Franklin, WI/Franklin) each had a kill while Bugée and Mitchem added two blocks apiece in the run.

The Flyers extended their lead to 17-10 but UCSD made a late run cutting the lead to 23-21 on a triple block by Collin Shannon, Shane Benetz and Kyle McCauley. Lewis fought off the run winning the set 25-22 on Coenen's fifth kill of the set.

The two sides went back and forth in the second set before the Flyers seized control with an 8-2 run to take an 18-11 lead. The Tritons once again mounted a late rally getting to within four but Lewis held on to win 25-20 on a service error from McCauley.

The Flyers used a late run in set three to break it open building a six-point lead at 24-18 on a kill from Dalen Instenes (Racine, WI/William Horlick).
