Manhattanville took control of the first set early, winning 10 straight points on the serve of Baez-Berrios to jump out to a 17-3 lead. The second set saw the Valiants make multiple runs, recording four different runs of at least five straight points to create some separation. In the third set, the squad started the frame with an 8-1 run and never looked back in completing the sweep.

The Valiants had to work a little harder against the host Gothic Knights, but still put away NJCU in straight sets in a 3-0 (25-20, 25-16, 25-19) win.

The first set was even to start, featuring four ties and one lead change. The last tie came at 13-all before Primavera put down a kill and Quinabo followed with seven straight points on her serve, with Primavera (four kills) and Reid (two kills) providing the offense. NJCU battled back to get within three at 22-19, but a kill from junior Emma Banevicius (West Hartford, Conn./Northwest Catholic) ended NJCU's 6-1 run and Dattoma finished things off with a kill of her own.

The third set was the most even of the match with eight ties and four lead changes, but the visitors still managed to pull out the win. NJCU held a 14-13 lead before a Banevicius kill knotted the score and started a 10-2 run that put away the Knights and completed the sweep.

Manhattanville (14-8) will look for a second straight MAC Freedom victory on Tuesday night, when the team travels to Pennsylvania for a 7 p.m. meeting with King's (Pa.) College.
