Harrogate, TN- Lincoln Memorial Men's Volleyball is now 4-2 on the season after their five-set victory over the University of Charleston on Saturday.

The first set would go LMU's way 25-22. In the set, Lincoln Memorial would outhit the Golden Eagles .217 to .154, with Justin Sharfenaker gaining five kills in the frame. Charleston would mount a comeback, however, and rally to win the second set 25-19, this time earning more kills on a higher hitting percentage. In need of a spark plug, Griffin Wheatley would do just that for the Railsplitters, entering in the third set with four kills on a .667 hitting percentage to help bring the team a 2-1 set lead with a 25-16 win. 14 kills and a .423 hitting percentage would allow the Golden Eagles to mount momentum, though, taking the fourth 25-21 to force a fifth. The last would be a nail-biter, with 11 ties and five lead changes in the closing frame. The Railsplitters would take the charge and finish out the set with three straight points to win 15-12. Wheatley would finish with with 11 kills and three assisted blocks on the day. Three others from LMU would also finish with 10+ kills (Justin Sharfenaker, Matthew Gentry, and Shay Spadaro), with setter Kohl Kutsch and libero Tate Colebaugh also being clutch contributors. 

Lincoln Memorial returns to action on Friday, February 2nd in Due West, SC, for a match with Erskine starting at 7 PM.
