In their season opener on March 5, the boys volleyball team lost to Timber Creek (2-0) in the three sets. The boys lost a portion of their points due to technical errors.
The match started with senior Kerry Alce singing the National Anthem without a microphone, due to technical difficulties. After a kill from junior Jon Bartelt, the team was down 9-15 in the first set of the match. They remained behind for the remainder of the set, losing 12-25.
The second set started close after a block by sophomore Danny Hermida and Bartelt making the score 7-6. The Braves fell behind the Wolves 14-16 soon after, despite a dig from junior libero Nicholas Duffy. The team failed to score any additional points for the second set losing to Timber Creek 14-25.
The third set of the match, again, began close. Junior Blake Garrison made an incredible save early in the set tying the game 5-5. However, the Braves fell behind, despite another kill from Bartelt bringing the score to 17 -21. The team lost the third set and thus the entire match with a 20-25 score in the third game.
