NEWARK, NJ | The Rutgers-Newark men's volleyball team topped Lancaster Bible, 3-1 (25-19, 25-13, 25-14, 25-20) at The Golden Dome on Friday evening.

Rutgers-Newark (8-7) hit .278 as a team and tallied 42 kills. Lucas Blanco paced the team with 17 kills while Vincent Lopez followed up with eight. Martin Chromulak added seven kills while Derek Au paced the team with 35 assists. Lancaster Bible (4-11) was led by Jordan Yoder's 17 kills and Christian Herr's 31 assists.

Rutgers-Newark came out strong against the Chargers in the first set and hit .321 as a team with Chromulak pacing the way with his .750 hit percentage. Blanco broke the deadlock with a kill to put Rutgers-Newark ahead before Chromulak increased the lead with a service ace. Vincent Lopez pushed the Scarlet Raiders' lead out to 17-12 which set the Scarlet Raiders on the victory track as they would take that lead and go up 1-0 in the match.

The momentum for the Scarlet Raiders carried over to the second set where they swiftly took an 11-4 lead. Blocks by Aleks Kolodziej and Amir Johnson pushed the Scarlet Raiders ahead 15-4 over the Chargers. When the Chargers began to cut into the lead, Fernando Paredes set up Blanco for a kill to shut down Lancaster Bible's comeback. With a comfortable lead, the Scarlet Raiders cruised to a 2-0 lead.

The pendulum swung the other direction in the 3rd set as the Chargers took down the Scarlet Raiders 25-14. The set would level at 11 thanks to a service error before Lancaster Bible closed out the set with a 15-3 run as Rutgers-Newark's offense went stale.

Rutgers-Newark returned to form in the 4th set, taking down the Chargers 25-20. Chromulak capped a 6-1 run with a service ace to give the Scarlet Raiders an 11-8 lead. Lancaster Bible, however, would take the lead later in the set, 18-17, before another 6-1 put Rutgers-Newark ahead for good.
