Riverdale, NY –\u00a0The University of Mount Saint Vincent fell in a four-set match to St. Joseph’s University Brooklyn, despite putting together a strong offensive effort. It was the season finale for a Dolphins team that took major strides forward, but ultimately fell short of their goal of Skyline Conference playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
UMSV finished 8-15 overall and 4-10 against the Skyline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dolphins kept pace all afternoon, dropping each set by six or less points. The team was\u00a0led by Tyler Hanna<\/a>, who recorded a team-high 16 kills on a 56% hit percentage while adding two service aces. The sophomore put together his second straight standout campaign and will be a focal point of the offense going forward. So, too, will freshmen Jose Dominguez<\/a> and Raeden Nieves<\/a>, who followed closely with 15 kills and 11 kills, wrapping up an impressive debut season Riverdale for the duo.\u00a0<\/p>\n Christian Ferrer<\/a> directed the offense with 43 assists, while contributing across the stat sheet with four digs and three aces. Defensively, Roel Lucero<\/a> led the Dolphins with seven digs. Matthew Barrancos<\/a>, Quinn Hohbein<\/a> and Yestro Luciano Jr.<\/a> also played pivotal roles in this season’s success.\u00a0<\/p>\n
