Brooklyn, NY---The Brooklyn College Men's Volleyball Team fell to 5-12 on the season as they lost to New Jersey City University on Monday evening by a 25-15, 26-24, 25-13 score.  The Gothic Knights improve to 9-11 with the victory.

The Bulldogs hoped that some home cooking would change the outcome in their second meeting with NJCU this season, however a slow start did not help their cause as Brooklyn dropped the first set 25-15. 

Brooklyn did not help their cause as they put on their worst hitting performance of the evening, posting a
-.154 percentage, while their opponent, who also was somewhat sluggish early, connected for a .200 percentage.

The second set was the most closely contested of the evening as the Bulldogs came back from an early deficit to take a 21-18 lead.  NJCU Head Coach Carlo Edra wisely called a timeout, helping his team to regain control and take 8 of the next 11 points and win the set, 26-24.
