Grinnell volleyball team drops match at recently-ranked New York University

NEW YORK - Facing a team recently listed in the national rankings and currently receiving votes, Grinnell College dropped a three-set decision in the first of three matches on the east coast.

New York University hit .260 Wednesday night and limited the Pioneers to a negative hitting efficiency on its way to a 25-13, 25-19, 25-16 victory.

New York shot out to a 6-1 lead in the first set and never looked back. Grinnell (17-6) built an 8-6 lead in the second set on Emily Brewer's '25 kill before the hosts scored four in a row and led the rest of the way.

The Pioneers kept the third set close early, trailing just 8-7 after Millie Leonard's '27 kill. But New York (16-9) followed with a 9-2 run on its way to victory.

Leonard led Grinnell with seven kills and Jenna Keller '25 posted five. Brewer added 18 assists and served four aces. Keller also had four aces. Leonard posted two blocks and Sophie Weber 25 added 16 digs.

Grinnell has Thursday off before playing two matches at Stevens in Union, N.J. on Friday. The Pioneers meet Kean University at 4 p.m. and Stevens at 6.
