Brown served eight-straight points during a key 9-0 run to clinch the opening set as the Panthers hit .314 to Yeshiva's .154.

Down 11-8 in the second set, Yeshiva (2-16, 1-9 Skyline) scored 13 of the next 14 points to take a commanding 21-12 lead.  

Clinging to a 13-12 lead, Yeshiva claimed six-straight points to build its largest lead of the third set.

Following a 6-0 Maccabee run in the fourth set, Old Westbury stormed back with a 5-0 spurt to make it a 17-15 match.  Trailing 23-21, Goris served a pair of aces during a 4-0 stretch to put Old Westbury ahead 24-23.  Old Westbury would maintain the lead as Hoffman served the set-winning point.
