BRONXVILLE, N.Y.—Though the Gryphons had their chances, Sarah Lawrence College women's volleyball was knocked off by York (N.Y.) College, 3-0, in a non-conference match at Noyes Court at Campbell Sports Center on Tuesday.

Sarah Lawrence (2-17) won the first five points of the match, but a 7-2 run for York (3-13) quickly erased the advantage. After the teams exchanged points to a 16-16 stalemate, the Cardinals scored four unanswered points that proved fatal in the 25-21 set.

In the second set, the Green and White crawled away to a four-point edge, 15-11. York snapped back into action, reversing the deficit with eight straight points. Trailing by six, the Gryphons put together a late five-point rally, but York sealed the deal in a 25-23 stanza.

Backed by three service aces from senior Jenai Richards (Kailua, Hawai'i/St. Andrew's Priory), SLC built its largest lead at 8-2 in the third set. A string of five Cardinal points disintegrated the advantage, and a 9-1 run by York all but sealed the win, as York clinched the victory with a 25-19 set.

SLC junior outside hitter Kitty O'Sullivan (Los Angeles, Calif./Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy) posted her second double-double of the season, recording 10 kills and a match-high 12 digs. Richards finished the evening by matching her season high with five kills. Setter Janet Tonyan (McHenry, Ill./McHenry) notched 16 assists, surpassing 200 on the season.
