Box Score

LANGHORNE, PA - Senior Justin Brubaker joined an elite club Tuesday evening against New Jersey City University. The fourth-year outside hitter recorded his 2,000th career spike during a 3-0 sweep over the visiting Gothic Knights, becoming just the third player in NECVA history to reach the plateau.

Entering the contest with 1,999 career kills, the reigning NECVA Player of the Week drilled his historic slam less than two minutes into action, helping give PBU a 3-1 edge to open up the first set. The Crimson Eagles would go on to secure the opening rally handedly, winning 25-10.

The host squad polished off NJCU during sets two and three by similar 25-21 scores, extending their consecutive home winning streak to 16 straight. The Crimson Eagles manufactured their highest hitting percentage of the year in the win, carving up NJCU's defense with a .333 hitting clip.

PBU also tied a season high by dishing up nine service aces - including four alone from Brubaker - while owning a 72.2 sideout percentage over the three stanzas. The triumph keeps PBU atop the Metro standings with a 3-0 mark in the conference while the Gothic Knights slip to 0-3 in league play.

The Crimson Eagles' defense was impressive as the host squad held NJCU to a .090 attack mark while limiting the visitors to just 23 total kills for the match.

Playing only two sets, Brubaker finished with only eight kills - a season low - but added six digs and four assists in limited minutes. Josh Tuttle added eight kills and Oliver Good handed out 26 helpers.

Following their three game homestand, the Crimson Eagles will grab their travel bags for a date with Lancaster Bible College on Thursday at 7:00 pm.
