MADISON, N.J. - Freshman Jacob Sledz threw down 19 kills and hit .581 on the night as the Drew University men's volleyball team swept Neumann University 3-0 in Baldwin Gym Thursday evening.

The Rangers won by scores of 25-12, 25-22, 25-18 while improving to 5-2 at home this season. They also tied their second-best hitting percentage of the season (.367).

The Rangers led 16-10 midway through the second set, only to see Neumann rally with a 4-1 run to pull to within three. The Knights whittled the deficit all the way down to one (23-22) after a late 3-0 spurt, but Drew won the next two points on a pair of Neumann attack errors.

The Knights came out strong in the final set and led 9-6. But the Rangers rallied to take the lead with a 6-2 run and gradually pulled away.
