Cresson, Pa – The Mount Aloysius Mounties (4-13, 1-1) returned home from their spring break trip to face off against conference opponent the Carlow Celtics (0-9, 0-1).
 
The Mounties jumped out to an early 10-1 lead in the first set and never looked back. They maintained their momentum throughout, winning all three sets 25-9, 25-18, and 25-13. A key factor in the outcome was errors, with Carlow committing ten compared to the Mounties' four.
