Mastodons fall to end season

Hampered by the absence of its leading scorer and first-team all-conference player, the IPFW men’s volleyball team had its season end Friday in a 3-1 loss at Loyola in the first round of the MIVA tournament in Chicago.April 21, 2012

When: 8 p.m. today

Where: Omaha, Neb.

Records: IPFW 4-3, 1-1 Summit League;

Nebraska Omaha 4-6, 0-0

Radio: 1380 AM

IPFW leaders: Frank Gaines (22.8 ppg), Trey McCorkle (8.4 rpg), Jonny Marlin (5 apg)

Nebraska Omaha leaders: Mitch Albers (19.2 ppg), Alex Welhouse (6.8 rpg), Alberts (3.7 apg)

Key matchup: IPFW 6-foot-4 junior swingman Gaines has been a matchup nightmare for opponents. This will be the second time the Mavericks have seen Gaines, who scored 29 points in a season-opening win over Nebraska Omaha on Nov. 12.

The skinny: Nebraska Omaha is playing its first Division I home game in the school’s history. … Summit League games don’t count for Nebraska Omaha in the standings (there’s a one-year transition), but they count for IPFW. … The Mastodons take a two-game winning streak into tonight.
