In the days leading up to Ball State’s match against McKendree, head coach Joel Walton said that McKendree “wouldn’t be the toughest team we face this season.” Nobody would have expected them to be—not a program that was just formed and was playing its first volleyball match in history. Ball State swept McKendree (25-13), (25-15), (25-13) in a match where some of Ball State’s backups saw more time than the starters. Connor Gross and Alex Pia played throughout the third set, showing flashes of both talent and youth, much like their opponents across the net did. “Alex played well, he had some good swings, hit an overpass pretty well,” Walton said, grinning.

Ball State donated almost 20 tons of food last year, but this is considered an insignificant number. Director of Campus Dining Services Jon Lewis said the size of the group of people the university serves allows for more surplus, which can be donated. “We’re going to have a more considerable amount of food because we are the biggest food service in Delaware County,” Lewis said. “A restaurant like McDonald’s is not going to be able to provide like we do.”
