NCAA Tournament Round 1
Loyola vs. Pfeiffer
May 5, 2015 8:00 p.m.
Maples Pavilion, Stanford, CA
Pfeiffer cruised through the Conference Carolinas conference as regular season champs and won the league's auto bid. The Falcons had an impressive 21-3 record, playing a starting lineup filled primarily with juniors and only two seniors. Pfeiffer has won their last 11 matches, however they lost their only match against an MIVA team, 3-1 at Ohio State. Their primary players range in height from 5'10" libero Kevin Ecklund to two 6'5" middle hitters (Evan Blair and Fabio Diniz). Pfeiffer has a strong international flavor to their team with a Brazilian (Diniz), a Kiwi (6'4" outside hitter Sonny Hirini), and a Puerto Rican player (6'4" outside hitter Jonathan Martinez) dominating their attacks.
