Union, NJ (Feb. 17, 2013) – The effort was there again for the Purchase College men's volleyball team, but, unfortunately, the results weren't.

Purchase dropped two matches on Sunday at Kean University. Meanwhile, Kean picked up two wins in Skyline Conference play, including a five-set thriller against The Sage Colleges.

The Cougars picked up the five set win (22-25, 26-24, 25-18, 19-25, 15-10) in the opener, giving the Gators their first Skyline loss of the season (8-2, 3-1 Skyline). 

Kean then earned a straight set win over Purchase (25-10, 25-18, 25-6) in the nightcap to earn the season sweep of the Panthers (1-7, 1-5 Skyline).

Rookie Krzysztof Kucza led all players with nine kills as 12 Cougars saw action in the match.  Sophomore Alex Barnhard collected 13 assists while sophomore Ron Dunn tallied 14.

In the loss to Kean, Purchase was paced by Blake Borysewicz (SO/Brooklyn, NY), who finished with five kills.

Earlier in the day, the Panthers showed similar fight in another close matchup with the College of Mount Saint Vincent. However, the Dolphins would take the first match of the day. In that loss, Alex Billen-Calhoun (SR/Niskayuna, NY) handed out 15 assists and Taylor Edelmann (SR/Bethel, CT) paced Purchase with seven kills.
