MORRISTOWN, NJ -- Pratt Institute women's volleyball improved to 10-1 with a sweep of the College of St. Elizabeth tri-match, besting the host Screaming Eagles and King's (NY) College, both by the score of 3-0.
"We were able to secure the wins over both team in straight sets," said head coach Patricia Keenan.
For the second straight day, the Cannoneers earned a 3-0 win over a tri-match's host team by way of a pivotal second-set overtime win, besting St. Elizabeth by scores of 25-19, 26-24 and 25-16. Pratt earned its third win in three tries over Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference foe King's (NY) College by scores of 25-12, 25-19, 25-22, today's win coming in a non-league tilt.
