RIVER FOREST, Ill. - Marian University men's volleyball (10-10, 8-4 NACC) secured a season sweep of Concordia Chicago defeating the Cougars 25-20, 21-25, 25-11, and 25-15.

The opening set was tight with the Cougars taking a 17-15 lead but the Sabres finished the set out strong with a 10-3 run to take the opener.  Marian hit .333 for the set with 14 kills to only two errors.  The Cougars bounced back in the second evening the sets with four unanswered points at the end of the set.

The rest of the match, however, was all Marian as the Sabres held Concordia Chicago to only 26 points the rest of the match.  The Sabre offense hit .625 in the third set with 16 kills to only one error, and the defense dominated the fourth set holding CUC to an even hitting percentage.
