HUNTINGDON, Pa. – The Daemen College men's volleyball team suffered a 3-0 loss (25-12, 25-15, 25-22) to Juniata College here tonight in opening round action of the Juniata Invitational.

Joe Fick (eight kills) and Kevin Duffy (seven kills) led the Eagles, who compete in the Continental Volleyball Conference featuring teams from Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey. Michael Young paced in Juniata in assists with 31, a match-high. Daniel Voronov along with Fick led the team in digs with nine apiece.

Jahari Winkfield (Oswego, Ill.) led the Wildcats in kills with 16 with Michael Krueger (Canonsburg, Pa.) leading in assists with 23. Krueger also led the team with seven digs.

The first set started with the Eagles jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead before the Wildcats brought the match back to 4-3. As Juniata went on small runs, they eventually moved ahead 12-6 then followed up with a five-point run to go up 20-9 over the Wildcats. The Eagles ultimately won the first set 25-12.

The second set proved to be different in the beginning with the Wildcats and Eagles trading blows leading to a 15-14 lead for Juniata. However, the Eagles rattled off eight points in a row to go up 23-14 then completed the set 25-15.

The final set for Daemen proved to be a hard-fought effort when the Wildcats led 22-18 looking to close the set down to send it to four. The Eagles, however, completed a seven-point comeback to finish off the match.

The loss moved the Wildcats to 1-3 in its inaugural season with Juniata winning its first match of the season.
