ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Carthage College men's volleyball team completed a successful weekend on Saturday with a 3-0 win at Fontbonne University.

Matt Reinsel, who currently ranks fourth on Carthage's career assists record list with 1,466, added 33 more in Saturday's win as he set the Red Men up to hit a season-best .453 as the Red Men pounced on the Griffins with hitting performances of .406, .370 and .593 to win 25-18, 25-15, 25-12.
 
Four starters, Max Bongratz, Marc Hansen, Zach Lillig and Griffin Shields all hit .500 or better with Griffin Shields leading the Red Men with 16 kills.  Marc Hansen followed Shields with 12 kills on a .556 hitting performance.  Lillig, Bongratz and Braeden Waumans each finished with five kills.
 
Cody Bolan had a match-high 13 digs on Saturday and the Red Men dominated at the net on the defensive side as well, as Carthage finished the match with nine blocks to Fontbonne's three.  Bongratz led the Red Men with six total blocks in the win.
