When St. Viator fell behind 9-1 in the opening game of Tuesdays boys volleyball match against perennial power Marist, it looked like it was going to be a long night for the host Lions.

But the Lions refused to let the game slip away instead, in an inspired performance, they took control and shocked the visiting Redhawks 25-22, 15-25, 25-19 in an upset that approached David vs. Goliath proportions. Six-foot-3 senior middle hitter Tom Aichele led the way for the Lions with 7 kills in what St. Viator coach Chris Boylan called the most important victory for the program since 2005, when the team won a regional title.
