BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Pratt Institute men's volleyball team got back into the win column with a convincing 3-0 (25-13, 25-20, 25-17) triumph over Yeshiva University on Monday evening at the Activities Resource Center.

The Cannoneers led from start to finish in the opening set and closed out the set on a 12-5 run. The gold-and-black fell behind by as many as three early in the second, prompting a timeout at 8-5, but coming out of the timeout won the next seven points to stay on top for good.
