CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Rivier men's volleyball team fell in straight sets to non-conference opponent No. 17 MIT Saturday afternoon at Rockwell Cage.

With the loss, the Raiders fell to 8-9, while the Engineers improved to 13-3.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Rivier opened the match with a kill by senior Matthew McCloskey to trade early points before MIT utilized an eight-point run to establish an 18-7 lead. The Raiders responded with a 9-1 scoring run, highlighted by a service ace from junior Aidan Combs and a kill from McCloskey, to pull within three at 19-16. The teams exchanged sideouts for the remainder of the frame until a service error ended the set 25-20 in favor of the Engineers.
  • MIT took an early lead in the second set and used a 12-4 run to extend its advantage to 21-8. Junior Tyler Dickinson ended the streak with a kill before Rivier added points through a pair of errors. The Engineers maintained the gap, using a final 4-1 spurt to secure the set 25-11.
  • The third set featured six ties and two lead changes. The Raiders took an early 4-1 lead following a block by Dickinson and junior Kody Sodoyer. The Raiders stayed ahead through the middle of the frame, using kills from sophomore James Levesque and first-year Everett Boyer to hold an 11-8 edge. After MIT rallied to take the lead, Levesque recorded another kill to tie the score at 22-22, but the Engineers regained the advantage late to clinch the match, 25-23.
