GOSHEN, Ind. — Alexander Rabadzhiev led all players with 11 kills and he and Andy Bennett each had six blocks Friday night in Goshen College's three-set men's volleyball win over Trinity Christian College in Gunden Gymnasium.

Jack Paraha hit .438 with 8 kills on 14 swings for the Maple Leafs (9-5), who surpassed their win total from last season with 17 games left in this season. Ian Fox added 4 block assists while Rabadzhiev led the team with 8 digs, one more than Elias Baer and Michael Wahl. Wahl racked up a match-high 24 assists.

Trinity Christian (8-7) got 7 kills apiece from Jake Ostema and Mark Hernandez in addition to 6 each from Jon Poortinga, Djordje Novakovic and Bart van der Mark. Ostema had a hand in four of the team's five blocks and van der Mark recorded half of the team's 6 aces. Danny Lawrence led the team with 17 assists and Isaiah Gifford had 9 off the bench.

The Maple Leafs finished with 29 kills on 72 attempts, a .236 hitting percentage, while Trinity Christian posted 33 winners against 31 attack errors, 11 service errors and 3 reception errors. Goshen had a 12-5 edge in blocks as well.

"We played really well tonight as a team," said Maple Leaf head coach Jim Daugherty. "We had good rhythm on offense and our defense stepped up too with their second-best effort of the season. We recorded 12 blocks and had one of our best serving efforts as well. I hope we can carry this over to the match tomorrow."

The Trolls won the coin toss and elected to receive; the coin toss and the fourth rally of the match, which saw them leading 2-1, would be the only times they led in the match. Goshen reeled off six points in a row to lead 7-2, then added a four-point spurt on the way to a 21-13 lead and closed out the opening set 25-17.

The Maple Leafs cruised to a quick 7-2 lead in the second set as well and never let the Trolls get back within 3 points, winning 25-18 on a Rabadzhiev block and kill for the last two points.

Trinity Christian took the 7-2 lead in the third set behind a 6-0 run that included three aces. Goshen traded points to get to 12-6, then ripped off an 11-3 run mostly on Bennett's serve to flip their lead to 17-15. The Trolls won three straight points to pull in front again, but a 4-point run and a 3-point run pushed the Maple Leafs to the sweep with a 25-21 set win.

The Maple Leafs will look to push their win total into double digits and run their winning streak to three on Saturday when they visit Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan. First serve is set for 3 p.m. at the Don Ridler Field House.
