ROCHESTER, NY | The #7 ranked Rutgers University-Newark men's volleyball squad started their weekend trip off with a sweep over Baldwin Wallace, 3-0 (32-30, 25-18, 25-16) and #13 Nazareth (25-20, 25-20, 29-27). 

Match 1: #7 Rutgers-Newark (5-1) 1, Baldwin Wallace (4-5) 0 

Arvind Kumar was the lead man for the Scarlet Raiders against Baldwin Wallace in the first match of the afternoon. Kumar led the way with 10 kills while Derek Au paved the way with 34 assists. Andrew Zaleck and Daniel Quay added eight and seven kills, respectively. 

For the second straight match the Scarlet Raiders opened with a marathon set, needing 32 points to take a 1-0 lead in the match. In the opening set, the Scarlet Raiders fell behind by as much as three before using kills by Eric Hollenbach, Au, and Kumar to tie the set up before taking the lead. With the Scarlet Raiders ahead 24-23 another string of service errors pushed the set past the 25-point limit. Baldwin Wallace had the Scarlet Raiders on their heels with a 30-29 lead, however, Kumar and Au came to the rescue to pick up two kills to give Rutgers-Newark a 1-0 lead in the match. 

Baldwin Wallace ran out of gas after the first set as the Scarlet Raiders flexed their talent to pick up a 25-18 win. With just a two-point, 15-13, lead Rutgers-Newark used a 7-1 run to burst the game open in their favor. They would use that momentum to finish off the set and carry that into the third and final set. 

The Scarlet Raiders came out strong in the third set putting Baldwin Wallace behind 6-1. With the lead, Rutgers-Newark kept their foot on the gas and picked up the sweep to open the tri-match. 

Match 2: #7 Rutgers-Newark (6-1) 3, #13 Nazareth (13-2) 0

Against the Golden Flyers, it was the tandem of Andrew Zaleck and Arvind Kumar that led the way with 15 and 12 kills, respectively. Derek Au once again dished out the ball to the tune of 35 assists. Defensively, it was Matt Nikishin who collected a team-high 9 digs while Daniel Quay defended the net with five blocks. 

The Scarlet Raiders used a series of mini runs to stay ahead of the Golden Flyers in the opening set and eventually took a 17-13 lead. Nazareth answered with a 3-0 run to cut the lead down to just one but Rutgers-Newark answered with a 5-2 run to push their lead out to 22-18. Zaleck put the Scarlet Raiders within set point with a service ace before Robert Long closed out the set with a kill. 

Once again, the Scarlet Raiders jumped out in front early on and held that lead throughout the set. A kill by Hollenbach followed up by a kill from Kumar stretched the Scarlet Raiders' lead out to 21-16. Nazareth then tried to rally back only to have the door slammed shut by Quay to put the Scarlet Raiders up 2-0 in the match. 

Rutgers-Newark found themselves behind for the first time in their second match of the day, 24-22. An attacking error paired with a timely Kumar kill leveled the set at 24. Nazareth would once again get set point only for the Scarlet Raiders to steal it back and close out the match on a 4-1 run.
