Men's Volleyball Drops Final Non-Conference Game At Harvard

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Daemen University men's volleyball team dropped their seventh straight match, falling at Harvard University 0-3 (16-25, 13-25, 20-25) on Sunday afternoon in their final non-conference match of the season. The loss drops Daemen to a losing record, 9-10, in the middle of a season for the first time since their inaugural season, 2019.

  • After Daemen won the first point of the first set, Harvard went on a 9-2 run. In the middle of the set, Daemen put together a 5-1 run to bring the game within four, 14-10, but the Crimson finished out the set winning 10 of the next 16 points to take the first, 25-16. Schneider tallied four of Daemen's 11 first-set kills.
  • Daemen and Harvard traded points early in the second until the Crimson put together a 7-1 scoring run to take a 15-8 lead over the Cats. Harvard finished off the set with a 10-5 run, holding Daemen to a season-low in points in a set (13). The Wildcats had just six kills in the set.
