KENOSHA, Wis. — The No. 2 Carthage College men's volleyball team beat Benedictine 3-0 on Wednesday evening in non-conference action at Tarble Arena.

A 9-5 run for the home team made it 21-14 sparked by an ace from Gene McNulty. Though Benedictine (10-2) got it to four, a kill from Bulthuis and an ace from Conner Lilly sealed the set for the home team 25-19. 

In the second, after the Eagles broke out to a 10-6 margin to start, the home team shrank the deficit to three at 15-12. Carthage then used a 7-4 run to tie it at 19. With the set locked at 25, back-to-back aces from Slivinski gave the set to Carthage 27-25. 

The Eagles began with a 7-5 advantage in the third. A 7-4 run for the home team put Carthage up one until Benedictine tied the set at 12. A 9-5 run for the home team put the Firebirds ahead 21-17. A kill from Schmidt made it 23-19 as Carthage won 25-19.
