HOW IT HAPPENED
Set 1
The Cardinals were the first to lead substantially after using a 5-1 run to pull ahead 11-7. With a 5-1 run of their own, the Eagles tied the set at 15. The teams continued to exchange points until a service error by Louisville and a Calvete kill pulled the Eagles ahead 20-19, forcing a Louisville timeout. The Maroon and Gold tacked on a few more to force another Cardinals timeout at 23-21, and held on to win 25-23.
Set 2
Similar to the first set, neither team was able to get anything going until the Cardinals won four straight points to lead 15-13, forcing a BC timeout. Louisville continued its run to six straight points to lead 17-13. The Eagles got within one at 17-16, but the Cardinals won the next three points to go ahead 20-16, forcing another timeout by the Eagles. The Maroon and Gold couldn't string together a run and fell 25-18.
Set 3
BC jumped ahead early winning the first six points, forcing a Louisville timeout. The Cardinals stopped the Eagles' opening run at seven and got within four at 13-9, but BC stood its ground, forcing another Cardinals timeout at 16-10. The Eagles cruised from there, winning the set 25-14.
Set 4
The Eagles flew to an early lead again, going ahead 6-2, but the Cardinals put up four straight points to tie it at six all. The set remained even, but the Eagles edged ahead at 19-17 to force a Louisville timeout. The Cardinals fought back to within one at 22-21, causing the Eagles to call a timeout of their own. After taking the next point to lead 23-21, the Cardinals called their second timeout and rallied to tie it at 23 all. After taking three of the next four points, Louisville won the set 26-24.
Set 5
BC took a 2-1 lead but the Cardinals won five straight points to lead 6-2, forcing the Eagles to call timeout. Louisville continued its run to 6-0, and led 9-3 as the Eagles called their second timeout. The Maroon and Gold rallied to 13-9, forcing a Louisville timeout, but BC couldn't pull ahead and fell 15-12.
UP NEXT
The Eagles face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Sunday at noon for Alumni Day in Power Gym.
