OLD WESTBURY, NY (www.OLDWESTBURYPANTHERS.com) - The SUNY College at Old Westbury women's volleyball team lost on Thursday evening to the visiting Hunter Hawks by the set count of 3-1 in a non-conference tilt from the Clark Athletic Center. Hunter, who currently sits in second in the CUNYAC with a 7-1 conference record (12-8 overall) handed the Panthers their 14th loss of the season. Old Westbury's overall record is now 4-14.

The Hawks came out flying in the first two sets, easing past the Panthers by the scores of 25-10 and 25-11. It was also in the first set that both Hunter and Old Westbury recorded their best attacking percentages of the match; .700 for the Hawks and .190 for the Panthers.

In the second set Hunter also enjoyed a .320 attacking percentage compared to Old Westbury's .048.

The third set began with a 7-0 run for Hunter, served up by Kristine Ciurcina. But the Panthers fired back with a 10-1 run of their own, inspired by Jocelyn Small's six aces to put Old Westbury in the lead 15-12. The Panthers would hold on to win the set 25-22 and carry the momentum into the fourth frame.

Small struck again early in the fourth set, with a kill to put Old Westbury up 3-1, but the Hawks again pounced on the Panthers and put the match away with a 24-12 run. The 25-15 set win capped Hunter's 3-1 match victory.
