Volleyball Turned Away at Southern Connecticut

New Haven, Conn. - The Adelphi University volleyball team struggled to get any momentum going on Friday evening, ultimately falling in three sets to Southern Connecticut State in non-conference action. 

Series History: 
  • The Panthers (8-8) entered the match with a 21-3 overall record against the Owls. The result marks the first loss to Southern Connecticut since the 2021 season. 
Highlights:  How It Happened:
  • Following an early 8-8 tie, the home team used a three-point run to create separation, with the stretch ultimately proving decisive. Adelphi went point-for-point with the Owls but never got closer than one point, including at 18-19. Four of the final six Southern Connecticut points were straight kills, as the other two points were a pair of Panther miscues, as the hosts closed out a 25-18 set in the opener. 
  • The visitors watched a 9-all stalemate slip away in the early going of the second set. A 6-2 run in favor of SCSU kept the Adelphi side clawing back for remainder of the frame, but it was the Owls who took a 2-0 lead courtesy of a 25-16 win. 
  • Adelphi held a 17-16 lead late in the third but the hosts rattled off six straight points and won nine of the final 11 to steal the game. 
  • The Panther attack struggled to find the floor, never exceeding double-digit kills as a team, hitting just under .100 for the match. 
Up Next: 
  • Adelphi remains on the road for its next two matches, taking on Pace University (Sept. 29) and Bentley University (Oct. 3).
