MVB Drops Two Matches

BROOKLYN, N.Y. – The men's volleyball suffered two losses in a tri-match event at New York University Saturday afternoon. With the defeats, the Knights' overall record falls to 23-7, snapping a five-match win streak in the process.
 
NYU 3, Arcadia 2 (16-25, 27-25, 24-26, 25-17, 8-15)
Arcadia came up short in a thrilling five-set match that saw two sets go to extra points.
 
The first set was back and forth until NYU went on a 7-2 run mid-way through to take a 16-12 lead. AU rallied to stay within four points, but another NYU 7-2 outburst, including four in row to close out the set, did the Knights in.
 
Both sides traded highly-contested extra point wins in the second and third sets, respectively.
 
With its back against the wall, Arcadia pulled out a 25-17 win to force a fifth set. In the fourth set, the Knights jumped out to an 11-5 advantage, forcing NYU to take a timeout. NYU cut the deficit to two at 15-13, but an AU 8-2 run put the Scarlet & Grey ahead, 23-15. A kill by Robie Moctezuma, and a NYU service error, pushed the match to a decisive fifth set.
 
In the fifth set, NYU shot out to a 4-0 lead in part to two Arcadia attack errors, forcing a timeout from Arcadia. Two more errors from AU made the score 10-5 in favor of NYU, causing the Knights to burn their second timeout. NYU closed out the set, and the match, on a 3-0 jolt.
 
The Scarlet & Grey's offense tallied a .212 hitting percentage with 43 kills on 118 attacks. Six different Knights recorded a kill led by 17 from Jason Manley. Moctezuma chipped in nine kills, as well as six and five from Quinn Baily and Austin Braas, respectively. Jarod Pichler dug up 10 balls and Anthony Devantier assisted on 36 kills.
 
As for the Violets, they hit at a .260 clip to go along with 57 kills on 123 attacks. Alex Li tallied 11 kills to lead the way. Evan Lindley and Tyler Flood produced 11 and 10 kills each.
 
St. Joseph's-Long Island 3, Arcadia 0 (20-25, 14-25, 23-25)
After a grueling five-set match, the Knights had little energy left as they fell in straight sets.
 
In a first set that had five lead changes, Arcadia found itself down 21-17 and needing a timeout to regroup. The rest did not pay off as the Golden Eagles closed out the set trading points with the Knights, winning 25-20.
 
AU fell behind 9-4 to begin the second set and burned a timeout to cool a 5-1 SJU-LI rally. A 9-5 Golden Eagles outburst, making the score 18-9, forced the Knights to call another stoppage to the action. Arcadia tried to hold serve, but were outscored by the Golden Eagles 7-5 down the stretch to close out the set.
 
Arcadia showed a slight glimmer in the third set, going point for point with St. Joe's-LI, even taking a slight 11-9 lead mid-way through the set. The Golden Eagles came back to tie it up at 15-all before going up 18-16 and convincing Arcadia to call a timeout. AU cut the lead to 24-23 and called its second timeout before match-point. The break didn't work out as on the very next serve Paul Curaro drove home a kill to secure the 3-0 sweep.
 
AU swung at a .127 rate while going 35 for 102 attacks. Dan Paraskevov had the most kills for the Knights (10), followed by Braas (7) and Moctezuma (5). Zayne George lifted 14 digs and Devantier assisted on 30 kills.
 
As for St, Joe's (LI), they attacked at a .227 percent with 32 kills on 85 attacks. Matthew Amberge guided the way with 12 kills, including a team-high two aces and two blocks. Daniel McNamara dug up 15 attacks and Tyler Jones set up 28 kills.
 
Arcadia heads back on the floor on Apr. 3 as they travel to Messiah. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.
