Box Score The Lancaster Bible men's volleyball team suffered its third loss of the season to Eastern Mennonite on Tuesday night at Horst Athletic Center as the Royals swept the Chargers, 3-0. Eastern Mennonite won, 25-19, 25-20, 25-17.
After losing to the Royals 3-0 earlier this season in Harrisonburg, Va., the Chargers had played Eastern Mennonite tough in a five-set loss at the York College Men's Volleyball Tournament just 10 days ago.

The Chargers (3-17) played better in the second set as they lost, 25-20, but the Royals poured it on the third set and won, 25-19.
