Blazers Overpower Nighthawks

The Nighthawk Men's Volleyball team dropped their 4^th straight match to visiting Elms College tonight in Brookline, MA by a score of 3-1.  The victory marked the Blazers' first-ever win against the Nighthawks in 15 all-time meetings dating back to 2003. 

Elms was led by the solid play of sophomore outside hitter Alberto Bravo (Toa Baja, Puerto Rico/Colegio Carmen Sol) who recorded a match-high 25 kills on the night.  Teammate Ivan Andujar (Carolina, Puerto Rico/Colegio Bautista de Carolina) dished out a team-high 42 assists in addition to two service aces en route to the Blazers' seventh victory in their last ten matches.

Newbury received a substantial effort from junior Joshua Aberly (Palatine, IL/Palatine) who finished the match with 13 kills and 20 digs; but his actions would not be enough as the Nighthawks were only able to pull away with a victory in set four. 

NECC opponent, Daniel Webster College comes to town on Tuesday, March 3, 2009 for a match at 7:00 PM.  Newbury looks to turn their streak around and will also play host to the drawing for the winners of the 2^nd Annual Nighthawk Raffle.
