BRONXVILLE, N.Y.—On the team's second weekend of action, Sarah Lawrence College men's volleyball was defeated, 3-0, by both College of Mount Saint Vincent and Cooper Union at Noyes Court at Campbell Sports Center on Friday and Saturday.

On Friday, Sarah Lawrence (0-5) squared off against Mt. St. Vincent (1-1).

From there, SLC was unable to gain any offensive momentum, as the Mount landed 12 kills without an attack error to win, 25-11.

The Green and White were able to stay close in the first half of the third set, but a 6-0 CMSV run broke open a Dolphin lead, and five straight points for the visitors gave the Dolphins a 25-17 victory to clinch the match.

CMSV led the match with nine kills, while Brett Holiday posted seven. On SLC's side of the net, Ishaan Pujari (Bangalore, India/Inventure Academy) posted a team-high three kills. Service aces told the story of the match, as the Dolphins beat out the Gryphons 22-1 in a showdown of soon-to-be Skyline rivals.

In Saturday's showdown with Cooper Union, Sarah Lawrence's offense showed better consistency, reaching the 20-kill mark as a squad for the first time this season.

The third set saw the Green and White again take an early lead at 6-2, and SLC kept the advantage at 10-8. A strong term-of-service by Cooper setter Jonathan Ostrander put his team on top, and SLC was swept with a 25-16 set.
