- Concordia The Cadets started the 2023 campaign with two victories both in straight set fashion! They defeated Indianapolis Luthern and the Homestead Spartans. The victory over Homestead opened a lot of eyes in the summit city including myself! Jersey Loyer the Butler University commit led the way with 35 kills on the week for the Cadets. Week two for Concordia doesn’t start easy at all, they will host the Bellmont Braves in THE CAGE Tuesday evening.
- Homestead The Spartans finish week 1 6-1. Their only loss came to the team above them in the week 1 poll, the Concordia Cadets.
