Video: Barton stuns No. 15 Grand Canyon for first win vs. ranked team

The biggest non-conference win Barton program history was done in dramatic fashion.

This was the first time in program history that the Bulldogs defeated a nationally ranked team. It also became the first ConfCarolinas team to beat a nationally ranked team since the conference became eligible for a NCAA Tournament berth in 2014.

All-ConfCarolinas opposite Angelos Mandilaris led Barton with 19 kills and added nine digs. In addition, outside attacker Vasilis Mandilaris had 17 kills against the Antelopes.

Grand Canyon out-hit Barton.201 to .168 in a match that featured 41 combined blocks from both teams.

Middle attacker Caleb Blazer in the loss had a match-high 12 blocks, while middle attacker Justice Lord led Barton with 10 blocks.

Grand Canyon outside attacker Christian Janke also had a match-high 21 kills.
