RECAP: Men’s Volleyball drops road contest at Drew

The Bard College men's volleyball team battled against Drew on Thursday night at Baldwin Gymnasium, but the Raptors ultimately came up short, falling in straight sets. 

From the opening set, the Raptors showed fight, trading points early with the Rangers. Both teams were neck-and-neck, but at 22-22, Drew responded with three consecutive kills to close the frame. Bard kept it close, with Ansel Waisler contributing with five kills and Sidney Stein adding four. 

The second set saw the Rangers take an early 6-2 lead but the Raptors fought back and got within one at 12-13. An 8-3 run by Drew got them within four points of set point. Bard tried to reduce the gap but Drew closed out the set 25-18. Drew kept the offensive momentum going in the third set as they totaled 13 kills and one error to close the match at 25-15. 

Waisler led the team with nine kills, followed by Stein with seven. Amadeo Pinto contributed with a team-high eight digs, while Pearse Esposito had a team-high 13 assists. 

Bard will host Purchase and Hartwick on Saturday for a tri-match and their season home opener. It is also the Raptor's Morgan's Message theme game, with the first serve at 11 a.m. and then at 3 p.m.
