 Muncie, Ind. - - The Ball State (3-4) men's volleyball team captured its second-straight win Saturday night, scoring a 3-0 (30-20, 30-23, 30-28) victory over visiting Juniata (0-1) at Worthen Arena.

"We played a good overall match tonight," said head coach Joel Walton. "We were able to hit a lot of the goals we set for ourselves entering the season. In addition, our passing was strong, which allowed us to get into a great offensive rhythm."

In the match, three Cardinals were able to record double-figure kills as the offense hit above .400 for the second-straight night at .406 (53-12-101).

Senior Nick Meyer (Cincinnati, Ohio/Moeller H.S.) led the offensive barrage with 16 kills on the evening, while sophomore Todd Chamberlain (Louisville, Ky./Trinity H.S.) added 13 and sophomore Matt McCarthy (Wheaton, Ill./Wheaton Warrenville South H.S.) smashed 10.
