MORRISTOWN, NJ – The Medaille Mavericks Men's Volleyball team kicked off the final weekend of the regular season in New Jersey on Friday evening, traveling to the College of Saint Elizabeth to take on the Eagles. The Mavericks offense exploded while the defense shut the Eagles down en route to a 3-0 sweep.
It was an impressive showing on all fronts for the Mavs with arguably their most efficient offense showing of the season. In the opening set Medaille earned 11 kills while hitting a season best .474. Set two saw 15 kills go down for the Mavericks on a .303 hitting percentage.
The third and final set saw Medaille's hitting percentage back over .400 with 10 kills and just one single error.
On the other side of the net the Mavericks were just as impressive. Medaille surrendered just 8 kills to Saint Elizabeth the entire match, as the Eagles hit 11 total errors for a -.055 hitting percentage. Combine that with the Mavs earning 17 service aces compared to just three for Saint Elizabeth.
Sophomore Brazil Thompson (Buffalo, NY, Cheektowaga) led the way with 10 kills and fellow sophomore Nick Patterson (Amherst, NY, Amherst) wasn't far behind with eight. In total nine different Mavericks earned at least one kill while junior Matt Dempsey (Clarence, NY, Clarence) dished out 22 assists.
Junior Daniel Joseph (El Dorado, CA, Union Mine) led all Mavericks with six digs as Medaille improved their record to 7-20 overall and 3-4 in conference play. The Mavs wrap up their regular season tomorrow with a tilt against Lancaster Bible at 1:00 pm.
