Fredericks records match-high nine kills as Panthers fall to Manhattanville

Purchase, NY – Following a Skyline Conference loss to St. Joseph's University Long Island, the SUNY Old Westbury men's volleyball team continued its road stand Saturday evening traveling to Purchase, NY to take on the Valiants of Manhattanville University in conference action. The Panthers ultimately fell to Manhattanville in straight sets 3-0 (25-22, 25-21, 25-18) at Kennedy Gymnasium.

Despite the comeback effort by Old Westbury, the Valiants responded with a strong offensive run backed by solid defensive pressure to close out the opening frame 25-22.

The second set saw the Panthers jump out to an early start before the Valiants regained momentum and built a lead as large as 20-13. Old Westbury continued to battle and worked to close the gap late in the set, but Manhattanville held on to claim the set 25-21 and take a 2-0 lead in the match.

Trying to stay alive in the third set, the Panthers fought to keep things close early on, but Manhattanville once again used a strong offensive stretch to create separation and ultimately secured the final set 25-18 to complete the sweep.
