September 04, 2018 | Men's Volleyball, Features

USC sophomore middle blocker Sam Lewis captained the USA Volleyball Junior National Team that placed fourth at the 9-team NORCECA U21 Continental Championship in Havana, Cuba, from Aug. 27 to Sept. 1.

The USA won its Group B pool by sweeping Nicaragua and Haiti and beating Canada in 4 sets, but then the USA fell in 4 sets in the semifinals to the Dominican Republic and lost in 4 sets for the bronze medal in a rematch with Canada.

Lewis, who started in the middle, had 35 kills and 9 blocks in the 5 matches. He had 6 kills and 3 blocks against Nicaragua, 6 more kills against Haiti, 10 kills and 3 blocks against Canada in the pool play finale, 7 kills and 2 blocks against the Dominican Republic in the semis and then 6 kills and 1 block in the bronze medal match versus Canada.

The 6-10 Lewis made the 2018 MPSF All-Freshman team while hitting .334 for the Trojans, plus he had a team-best 87 blocks along with 152 kills.
