Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The 12^th-ranked Dominican University men's volleyball team improved to 7-0 on the season, picking up a pair of three-set wins on Saturday at the Igini Sports Forum, knocking off California Lutheran (25-18, 25-17, 25-17) in the opener before sweeping the #6 MSOE Raiders (25-12, 25-21, 25-23) in the nightcap.  The Stars hit .393 for the day with 80 kills total for the day on 150 total attack attempts while committing just 21 errors.
 
"Today was a great day for the program," said Cameron Andrew, the Stars' first-year head coach, following the day. "We started out ready to go against Cal Lutheran and then sustained that energy and effort throughout the MSOE match. I'm proud of how the team performed. Moving forward, we need to keep up this momentum and continue taking down opponents one at a time. We put a big emphasis on transition offense and that was much better today. Now I want to see us sustain our defensive intensity throughout an entire match."
 
In the morning sweep of the CLU Kingsmen, George Kougan carried the heavy hand, knocking down 16 kills on 29 swings while committing just two errors.  Jake Sidner joined Kougan with double-digit kills, terminating ten rallies on just 18 attempts.
