Garden City, N.Y. – The Le Moyne College volleyball team had a quick turnaround from last night's match at Queens College to then play Adelphi University this afternoon in Garden City, N.Y at the Center of Recreation and Sports and fell to the Panthers, 3-0, in Northeast-10 Conference action.
 
The Panthers came out strong, winning the first set 25-13. The Dolphins had a five-point streak in the middle of the second set, started off by a kill from redshirt sophomore Marie Rhodes (Lancaster, N.Y./St. Mary's), but fell short after a time out from Adelphi, which ended up winning that set 26-24. The Panthers then took home the third and final set, 25-20.
 
"It's unfortunate that we couldn't end our week with a win" said head coach Bethany Fabian '13 M '17. "There were plenty of moments that we played really well, we just had a hard time finishing. We have got to get better at playing on the road. We have an opportunity to reset next week, with three home games in a row, so we are looking ahead."
