Wentworth Breezes Past Lesley
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Dan
Mulvey (Halifax, Mass.) had a perfect 1.000 hitting percentage,
recording 10 kills on 10 swings and classmate Chase
Meyers (Austin, Texas) added seven kills as the Wentworth men's
volleyball team swept Lesley, 3-0, in an North East Collegiate
Volleyball Association New England Division match played at
Buckingham Browne & Nichols.
Christian Domingo (Los Angeles, CA/College of Canyons) and Zach
Almeida-Beers each totaled six kills to lead the Lynx.
The Leopards set the tone for a difficult night for the Lynx by
scoring the first four points on Ross
Burdett (Needham, MA/Needham) serves, later using a 7-0 run to
cruise in their 25-11 opening set win. WIT scored five of the first
six points in Game 2, opening the set on a 13-3 run that featured
three Mulvey kills. After a pair of Lynx attack errors, a Coerte
Voorhees (Hopewell, NJ/George School) ace closed out another
25-11 win.
The third set started similarly, with WIT scoring four of the
first five points with the help of four straight Lynx errors.
Leading 10-6, the Leopards then did the same, committing four
errors in five points that helped the Lynx tie the contest at
11-11. Trailing by two, Lesley embarked on a 5-0 run thanks to
three straight Domingo kills, leading to a WIT timeout and a 19-16
Lesley lead.
The Leopards then got consecutive kills from Lowell
Jesmer (Rochester, NY/McQuaid) and Jeremy
Forgue (Mechanicsburg, PA/Chicopee) that tied the set at 20-20.
Lesley's Tyler Reeves (Coventry, CT/Coverntry) skied for a kill to
re-tie the set at 24-24, but a Lynx attack errors and a Myers
service ace ended the Leopards 26-24 victory.
