HUNTINGDON, PA | The #8 Rutgers University-Newark men's volleyball squad toppled #11 Juniata today on the road in five sets, 3-2 (17-25, 25-22, 26-28, 25-22, 15-13) before sweeping Penn State-Altoona, 3-0 (25-15, 25-20, 25-19). 

Match 1: #8 Rutgers-Newark (2-1, 1-0) 3, #11 Juniata (8-3, 0-1) 2

The Scarlet Raiders went up against a buzz saw in Juniata in the opening set of the match. Juniata hit a blistering .500 to take a 1-0 lead in the match before the Scarlet Raiders bounced back with a .292 hit percentage in the second to even the match at one apiece. Up just one point in the second set, Kumar gave the Scarlet Raiders the push they needed with a kill to give his team a two-point lead before an attacking error gave the Scarlet Raiders the win.

Juniata rebounded in the third set with another solid hitting performance while the Scarlet Raiders hit sub .100. Rutgers-Newark kicked it up a notch in the fourth set with their backs against the wall. Once again it came down to the wire as Juniata made it a one-point set until a pair of attacking errors by Juniata set up a fifth and final set. 

Rutgers-Newark quickly jumped in front, 3-0, before Juniata caught their footing and started to gain momentum. The Scarlet Raiders, however, were too strong despite a four-point rally by Juniata at the end as Rutgers-Newark secured the 15-13 win.

Elan Dorkhman paced the squad in the second match of the day with 10 kills with Zaleck sitting in second with eight. Au, maintained setting duties and tallied 30 in the match.
