On Wednesday, April 27, Naperville Central’s mens’ volleyball team fell to Naperville North in a regional playoff game.  Central lost in two sets, 23 to 25 and 26 to 28.

With a great start, Central came out with a substantial lead in set one but North slowly made their way back up.  Central lost the first set by two points but hoped to tie the game in the next.

Central stayed a few points behind North nearly the entire second set, but with some sizable serving errors made by multiple players, Central could not gain a lead though the entire set.  After the 20 point mark, Central and North continually traded off points resulting in tie game after tie game.  North was finally able to gain a two point lead and won the game in two sets.

Senior Jack Burton and Kacper Mazurek let the team with eight kills each but that would not be enough to win the game.  Overall top players for this game include Junior Alex Bryk and Seniors Jack Burton and Kacper Mazurek.

This playoff loss will conclude the men’s volleyball season and will be the last game for seniors David Wesolowski, Jack Burton, Kacper Mazurek, Kevin Prazak and Tyler Stefani as Redhawks.
