Brooklyn, NY – The Monroe University men's volleyball team earned a straight-set (25-9, 25-19, 25-16) victory over Kingsborough Community College on Monday, clinching the season sweep of the Wave.
Freshman
Glenn Gandarillas led the offense with 11 kills. Fellow freshman
Erick Concepcion took over as the lead setter, recording 15 assists on the day. What set the Mustangs apart from the Wave was their efficiency on the serve as they racked up ten across the three sets.
Concepcion and freshman
Quez Martin recorded three service aces.
The first set on Monday was the same score as the first set from the first meeting between the two sides in February. The Mustangs limited Kingsborough to just one kill while they racked up seven of their own on a 23.5% clip.
Set two was more competitive with five ties and two lead changes. Nevertheless, Monroe got the job done to segue into a wire-to-wire victory in set three.
Monroe is 2-0 with two straight-set victories in its current stretch of road contests. It has two more coming up before closing the season at home. Its next contest will come against Monroe University (Bronx) on Saturday at 1:00 pm.
