BRONXVILLE, N.Y.—In the Gryphons' final home match of the season, Sarah Lawrence College women's volleyball fell to Yeshiva University, 3-0, in a Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match at Noyes Court at Campbell Sports Center on Wednesday.

Sarah Lawrence (3-20, 1-5 HVIAC) led midway through the opening set, 15-11, but Yeshiva (2-6, 2-4 HVIAC) rallied to tie the match at 15-15. Richards put the Gryphons back in front with a pair of service aces, but again the Maccabees struck back. With SLC in front 21-19, the visitors scored six straight points to ice a 25-21 set.
In the second set, a 14-2 Yeshiva run quickly put the set out of reach. The Gryphons closed a double-digit deficit to eight points at 20-12, but the Maccabees were unfazed and clinched the set, 25-13.
Yeshiva inched away in the early goings of the third set, but Sarah Lawrence recovered and tied the match at 12-12. A string of four Maccabee points made the difference, as YU took a 16-13 edge, and the Gryphons were unable erase the gap in an eventual 25-21 win for Yeshiva.
