KENOSHA, WIS.—The #6 Carthage College men's volleyball team concluded a six-match home stand against Milwaukee School of Engineering at Tarble Arena on Saturday. The Raiders, who entered Saturday fresh off a 3-2 loss to Dominican the previous night, couldn't rebound as Matt Slivinski's career-high 19 kills propelled the Red Men to a 3-0 sweep.
 
It took Slivinski 17 kills before he finally recorded an error midway through the third set, where he closed the game with a .486 hitting percentage along with 10 digs. Reigning MCVL Offensive Player of the Week Evan Walsh turned in a 12-kill effort and a team-leading 13 digs. Kai Cromwell contributed 11 digs and a pair of blocks for the Red Men defense. Matt Reinsel, who finished with 41 assists, notched three blocks along with Parker Connolly and Eric Winter.
 
Carthage hit .257 as a team, and held MSOE to a .124 figure.

Red Men 3, MSOE 0
 
The Red Men won all three sets by a 25-21 score.

Five different Red Men tallied kills in the opening set, combined with 12 Raider errors.
 
Slivinski's nine kills in set two propelled the Red Men. Slivinski and Walsh each tallied five kills in the third set to lock up the 3-0 sweep for Carthage.
