VBelo Daily: March 20, 2025
Bearcats know how to win when they have to and that will take them very far. There is something special happening at McKendree right now.
Quick programming note: Normally on Thursdays there is a weekly VBelo Report that gets sent out in addition to the daily scores. I took a bit of a vacation the first part of this week so there will only be this daily email. I look forward to putting out the weekly email next week. Thanks for your understanding.
Yesterday's Scores
MIVA
#10 McKendree (81%) def. Lindenwood (19%)
3-2 (22-25, 22-25, 25-20, 25-22, 15-11)
Reverse sweep for the home win! Are the Bearcats the most exciting team to watch this season? I think so. They have now won a league leading 6th five-set match! They are 6-6 when matches go all the way, so maybe don’t back a bearcat into a corner.
SIAC
Benedict (90%) def. Morehouse (10%)
3-0 (25-15, 25-20, 25-20)
Jared Brown (Benedict) was just too much for the Maroon Tigers. Brown has a career-high 15 kills while hitting .520%. He also added two digs and two solo blocks, for good measure.
