MEN’S VOLLEYBALL Cardinals serve up two wins Ball State defeats two Division III teams to end losing streak Vinnie Lopes ■ Asst. Sports Editor

It took seven matches, but Sat- urday the Ball State University men’s volleyball team reached its serving goal of 88 percent in-play for the first time this season. Serving a season-high 91 percent in-play, the Cardinals (3-4) defeated Juniata College (0-1) in straight games, 30-20, 30-23, 30-28. “We put a lot of pressure on them defensively,” coach Joel Walton said. “We forced them to DN PHOTO/ JESSICA ONDERWATER earn side-outs, and in games one BALL STATE UNIVERSITY’S ZACH COQUILLARD plunges through the water as he competes in the 200-yard butterfly and two [our serving] allowed us DN PHOTO/JESSICA ONDERWATER against Ohio University on Saturday at Lewellen Pool.
