ASTON, PA- The Highlanders notched their first win of the 2020 season Wednesday night, thanks to huge performances from their middles, Colin Benjamin and Anton Deleon.
 
The Highlanders played excellent volleyball all night, notching an incredible 85 points to Neumann's 49 on the night. Cairn dominated the first set with a 25-15 victory, but narrowly fell in the second 25-22. A huge service run from Scott Bassill, and a four kill stretch from Colin Benjamin gave the Highlanders a 9-0 lead to start the third set, which they would eventually win 25-6. Staked to a lead in the fourth set, Neumann battled back to narrowly take the fourth set 26-24, but the Highlanders buckled down in the fifth, taking the set 15-10 and the match 3-2.
 
Middles Colin Benjamin (17 kills, 4 blocks) and Anton Deleon (13 kills, 4 blocks) led the Highlanders while Ben Norton (14 kills, 11 digs) and Caleb Myers (9 kills, 13 digs) chipped in to boost the Cairn offense.
 
Cairn will host a tri-match this weekend against King's College (PA) and York College (NY) beginning at 12:00 PM.
