Garden City, N.Y. - The Adelphi University volleyball team welcomed Northeast-10 opponent New Haven into the Center for Recreation and Sports on Tuesday, October 28, putting their 13 game win streak on the line and fell short, losing 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-17) to the Chargers. The loss snapped the Panthers win streak and drops them to 13-10 overall and 10-1 in the conference, while New Haven improves to 18-5 and 9-1 in the NE-10.

The first set was tight through out as the Brown and Gold took a late lead, 23-22 on a kill by Mandy Stanislovaitis. But, the Chargers responded with back-to-back kills on efforts from Meghan Kennelly and Kristy Atufunwa, forcing the hosts into a corner, 24-22. An Adelphi miscue on the next serve handed the first game to New Haven, 25-23.

The hosts got off to a quick start in game two, jumping out to a 4-0 lead, but found themselves trailing 9-7 after an Atufunwa effort. Adelphi clawed back into the game, knotting the set at 15 all on a Shelby Stoner kill, but the Chargers would double up the Panthers down the stretch, scoring 10 of the final 15 points to pull out a 25-20 game two victory.

New Haven turned the tables on Adelphi to start the third set, sprinting out to a 9-3 lead. The Brown and Gold attempted to recover, but would get no closer then the six point margin the rest of the way, dropping the third set, 25-17.

Stoner and Kaitlyn DeStefano led the Panther attack with 10 kills each and Samantha Breidenbach added six. Alayna Jackson posted 21 assists and picked up 10 digs, while Sierra Crook had a game-high 16. DeStefano and Breidenbach played strong at the net, posted six and five total blocks respectively. 

Adelphi returns to the court on Friday, October 31 when they welcome fellow Northeast-10 Conference member Stonehill College to the Center for Recreation and Sports for a 5:00 pm meeting.
