Men's Club Volleyball
Overall: 4-8

In their last match of the season, Pomona-Pitzer men's club volleyball fell to CMS in an away game.

Although the Stags won the first two sets, 30-27, 30-24, the Sagehens refused to give up in straight sets. In the third, Pomona-Pitzer grabbed a surprisingly lopsided 30-20 win. Down 27-23 in the following set, the Hens rallied fiercely to tie the score at 27 and drew the 100 plus person crowd to their feet in the excitement.

Despite especially impressive play by four year starter and captain Mike Chin '03, Pomona-Pitzer could not ultimately withstand the Stag's determination, and a CMS win in the fourth set determined the outcome. The Hens had previously beaten Claremont earlier this semester at home in three straight sets.
