Andreas Brinck had 13 kills and William D\u2019Arcy chipped in 12 kills.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals\u2019 Patrick Rogers had a match-high 20 kills and seven digs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatrick Rogers is the best outside here in the country,\u201d Kniffin said. \u201cAnd I know that\u2019s going to bring the full force on us next year for some younger outside hitters that think they\u2019re vying for that spot. He is a fantastic volleyball player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Anteaters came out with the confidence earned from a regional final upset of top-seeded UCLA and won the first set 25-19 on a block by William D\u2019Arcy and Trevor Clark.<\/p>\n<p>Jokanovic, the AVCA Freshman of the Year, led the offensive efforts in the first set with four kills on 10 total attacks, and one of his strikes boosted the Anteaters to a 3-0 scoring run that pulled them ahead 13-11.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Two sets had passed without either team serving up an ace, which only underscored the pressure that each team applied from the service line. It forced the Anteaters to hustle into position and quickly deploy their attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome of that credit service pressure is going to do some scrappy digs,\u201d Kniffin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know that I had a lot of expectations in terms of what the numbers were going to be at the end of the match. I did expect us to stay committed and compete the whole way through it, and you saw some nice big changes in all the sets. Those are two teams that are working really hard to stay in the moment.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=3105\">LAFC turns page after CONCACAF Champions Cup exit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>UCI fell behind early in the second set but was able to overcome a persistent four-point deficit. Ball State outside hitter and Player of the Year candidate Patrick Rogers, who had only three kills in the first set, came out revitalized in the second set and delivered nine scoring blows.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A combined offensive effort by Trevor Clark and Brinck late in the set had cut the Anteaters\u2019 deficit to 24-23 before Will Patterson delivered the set-winning kill to even the match at one set apiece.<\/p>\n<p>UC Irvine was undeterred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re just trying to play our hearts out, especially when we\u2019re down a point,\u201d Clark said. \u201cEvery point matters and we are going to celebrate everything that matters, so I think once we get that energy switch of celebrating every point like we won, I think it does a huge thing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jokanovic had collected 14 kills by the time the third set had ended, and one of them grazed the top of two Ball State defenders\u2019 heads before hitting the court for the set-winner in the third frame.<\/p>\n<p>He took control of the left side of the net, jumping up to deflect shots and staying ready for passes from setter Cameron Kosty (53 assists). Jokanovic got the Anteaters in position to put the set away when he threw down a scoring attack to bring the score to 24-23.<\/p>\n<p>Patterson kept the Cardinals in the game with a point off a block, but UCI regrouped after a timeout to finish out the set and pull ahead 2-1 in the match.<\/p>\n<p>In the final set, Andreas Brinck had three straight kills from the left side of the net to earn the Anteaters a 19-15 advantage. Rogers registered three consecutive kills for himself later in the match, then Kosty served up UC Irvine\u2019s first ace to shift the momentum and set his team up for the win.<\/p>\n<p>UCI was making its ninth appearance in the NCAA tournament and its eighth appearance in the semifinals.
