Seniors Go Out in Style

Box Score

LANGHORNE, PA -
With five seniors playing within the friendly confines of the Mason Activity Center for the final time of their career Thursday evening, the Crimson Eagles halted a four game skid by running past Ramapo College, 3-0.

The winningest class in PBU volleyball history helped the Crimson Eagles tack on their 21st win of the season despite a valiant effort from the Roadrunners down the stretch. The host group ultimately prevailed, however, winning by scores of 25-19, 25-23, 27-25 to lock up their second straight undefeated season within conference play.

The Crimson Eagles pummeled a .284 hitting percentage throughout the contest while sprinkling 47 kills cross-court.  PBU was also aided by a stellar defensive effort that saw the group put up 14 block assists on the evening while collecting 35 total digs.

After breezing through the first set behind an 89 percent sideout clip, the Crimson Eagles found themselves down 19-15 in game two. A timeout by head coach Jade Brubaker proved effective, however, as seven PBU kills down the stretch helped the host team slug out a 9-3 spurt to capture a 25-23 comeback victory.

A similar effort would be required during the third frame as the Crimson Eagles fell into a 23-21 hole deep into the stanza. But another whirlwind burst on the offensive front from PBU helped the group rip off four more slams in the waning moments to close out the period on a 6-2 run.

Fourth year senior Justin Brubaker - who currently leads the nation in kills per set for the third straight year - posted his 13th 20-plus kill outing of the season, battering 20 spikes in 40 swings to go with 16 digs. Noah Prickett added 17 kills on a .448 hitting clip and Jon Rose chipped in with 10 defensive stops. Ethan Mawhinney charted six block assists and Drew Dillon added 42 assists.

With a lone regular season contest remaining, the Crimson Eagles will face traditional powerhouse Friday evening on the road in Huntingdon, PA. Game time is 7:00 pm.
