It was another balanced attack and 3-0 sweep for the Royals on their Spring Break swing through New York City.  EMU's volleyball men swept host York (N.Y.) Wednesday night, picking up their third straight 3-0 decision as they improve to 8-5 and prepare for Mt. St. Vincent Thursday night.

Eastern Mennonite scored the first four points against their host Cardinals and bookended that with the final ten points in a 25-5 opener.

The men fell behind in the second set, 8-3, before scoring five straight to tie up the score.  They used another 5-0 run to gain control en route to a 25-17 win.  The third set had some momentum swings before the Royals used yet another 5-0 run to break off a 13-13 tie.  York never threatened again in a 25-18 clincher.

EMU hit .292 as a team and racked up 11 service aces against just four serve errors.  The Cardinals hit .032.

Scott Brigham (Montpelier, Va./Patrick Henry) had seven kills, while Marc Lovell (Newport News, Va./Menchville) added six and five aces. Jesse Reist (Lancaster, Pa./J.P. McCaskey) also had five aces along with landing kills on all five of his attacks.  Dan Lutz (Greencastle, Pa./Greencastle-Antrim) and Tim Callahan (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin) each had five kills.
