No. 12 Men’s Volleyball Bested by Wabash (Ind.) in Five Sets in Block Out Cancer Match

Written by Athletic Communications Student Assistant Morgan Massey '26

BEREA, Ohio – The No. 12 nationally ranked Baldwin Wallace University men's volleyball team fell to Wabash (Ind.) College by scores of 25-20, 23-25, 22-25, 25-16 and 10-15 in a back-and-forth five set battle.

In the inaugural Block Out Cancer Match, men's volleyball helped to raise over $3,000 for the University Hospitals Seidman Cancer Center.
