Garden City, N.Y. -- With a 3-0 (25-19, 25-11, 25-20) win over the visiting Merrimack College Warriors on Saturday afternoon, the Adelphi University volleyball team posted its 14th consecutive victory of the 2015 season, setting a new program record in the process. The Panthers, who won 13 straight contests from September 26 to October 25 a season ago, went one better to re-write the all-time mark, and counting.

McKenna Clawson paced a well-rounded Panther attack with 10 kills on the afternoon while Shelby Stoner added seven, as both hit over .300 in the contest. Megan Manierski, who's tallied 30-plus assists in each of the Panthers' 14 straight wins, ran the offense with exactly 30 assists. On the defensive end, Madison Canestrari was a force at the net for Adelphi, recording a match-high 10 blocks, while Sierra Crook and Rebecca Seeba anchored the back line with 21 combined digs.

Adelphi (19-4, 10-0 NE-10) hit .333 as a team in the opening set, and a 10-4 scoring run finished off by a Warrior miscue turned a 9-9 tie into a 19-13 Brown and Gold lead -- which they held to a 25-19 set victory. The Warriors (8-13, 3-7 NE-10) were plagued by 15 attack errors in set two, with eight coming off of Panther blocks, allowing Adelphi to open up a 13-1 lead before winning the set handily, 25-11. 

The Panthers trailed just once in set three, at 2-1, and never trailed again from that point. While the Warriors managed to keep the score close over the course of the set, an Amanda Borges kill began an Adelphi run that saw the squad claim four of the final six points to wrap up a 25-20 third set and a 3-0 match.

The Panthers return to action on Friday, November 6th when they hit the road to Colchester, Vt. for a 6 pm meeting with St. Michael's College.
