ADRIAN, Mich. -- Gilius Blinstrubas had 15 kills while Brody Davidson added eight kills as the Siena Heights men's volleyball team dropped a 3-1 decision to ninth-ranked Cardinal Stritch (Wis.) in NAIA Great Lakes Division action on Friday at the SHU Fieldhouse.

Zak Krug and Gabriel Murley contributed 19 and 14 assists, respectively, and Allanderson Meira finished with nine digs for the Saints (1-3, 0-2), who lost by scores of 25-14, 25-19, 28-26, 25-15.

Lance Blough made five total blocks and Luke Sagaert had four total blocks.

Siena Heights fell behind, 2-0, but made a spirited effort in set three to keep its comeback hopes alive.

In the opening set, the Wolves (3-5, 2-0) jumped ahead 15-4 and never looked back. Then, in the second, the squads traded runs -- SHU had a five-point run, which CSU answered with a six-point streak -- and after a 14-all tie, Stritch closed the set with an 11-5 stretch.

The third set featured 13 ties, including knots at 23, 24, 25, and 26, before SHU scored three straight points -- the first on a Max Field kill and then two more on CSU errors -- to force a fourth set.

Then, in set four, the Wolves used an 8-1 run to take a commanding 17-9 lead -- an advantage they would hold through the final point.

Patrick Lentz led CSU with 12 kills while Brian Hoffman and Noah Mader chipped in with 11 and 10, respectively. Collin Hartman made 47 assists, Chris Sorensen had 10 digs, and Hoffman compiled nine total blocks.

The Saints will return to action on Saturday with a noon Great Lakes match against Robert Morris (Ill.).
