MADISON, N.J. – The Drew University men's volleyball team celebrated Senior Night with a sweep of Ramapo College and the Rangers earned a tri-match split on Saturday in Baldwin Gym.
 
The Rangers opened the day with a 3-0 loss to Marymount University in Continental Volleyball Conference (CVC) action, with the Saints winning 25-23, 25-20, 25-21. Drew then defeated Ramapo 25-23, 25-21, 25-15.

The opening set was a back-and-forth affair the entire way, and Drew led 23-22 before Marymount scored the last three points. The Saints took command early in the second set, opening on a 10-3 run, but that was their largest lead of the match. The Rangers were tied at 18-apiece in the third set following a kill and ace from Adegbite, but Marymount pulled away down the stretch.
 
Against Ramapo, Adegbite paced Drew again, this time with seven kills while hitting .462. Sophomore Michael Shipman contributed six kills and six blocks, and Donahue recorded 20 assists and eight kills, making zero errors on eight swings.

Drew outscored the Roadrunners 9-5 to start the second set and never relinquished the lead. In the final set, the Rangers broke out to a 13-6 lead and eventually widened it to 19-8 en route to the team's second sweep of Ramapo this season.
