Three young men stand courtside, wearing UCSC athletic shirts and headsets. Two are speaking into microphones; the third, in a "SLUGS" jersey (#5), faces away. Spectators sit in blue seats in the background.

I had four live play-by-play calls under my belt but this one was another milestone. Alongside my partners Luke Pfieffer & Shania Andrews, we called & witnessed a new @UCSC school record being set by @UCSCMVB Senior #5 Lake Merchen (Clovis, CA / Buchanan HS), as he surpassed Salvatore LaCavera (2010-2013 who had 836 Kills) & broke the school record earning his 837th Kill in the 2nd set. Merchen is now the @UCSCAthleticsMen’s Volleyball All-Time Leader in Career Kills (now 841) as a Banana Slug with many games to come!
