Boston, MA - Coming off Saturday’s loss to the Northeastern University Huskies, Elon University’s volleyball team fell again to the Huskies in straight sets on Oct. 24.
The Huskies, who had home-court advantage in Boston, won the first two sets by a score of 25-21, creating a lead early on that Elon could not come back from. Northeastern finished off the match by taking the third set 25-18.
The Huskies outperformed the Phoenix in several key categories, leading the match with 47 kills, 7 blocks and a 56.8 scoring percentage, compared to Elon’s 34, 6 and 45.9 respectively.
