Yeshiva University

Yeshiva University completes an undefeated season in Hudson Valley Men’s Athletic Conference play to capture the volleyball title.  The Maccabees dropped only one set in conference play all season.  After cruising by St. Joseph’s in the tournament semifinals, Yeshiva was pitted against Cooper Union in the championship.  Unfortunately for the Hawks, Yeshiva’s attack was too much to stop as they hit an efficient .378 for the match combining for 52 kills.  Cooper Union threatened to take a set off Yeshiva leading 19-18 in the third, but the Maccabees used a 9-2 run to pull away from the Hawks and take the title.
