BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - The Purchase College men's volleyball team earned a hard-fought win Thursday night, as the Panthers outlasted Sarah Lawrence College in four sets.

Set scores for the contest were 25-15, 25-23, 15-25 and 25-19.

With the win, the Blue and Orange moved to 5-19 overall and 3-10 in the Skyline Conference. For the Gryphons, they dropped to 0-17 and 0-12, respectively.

The match started slowly as the two sides traded points back-and-forth. The difference in the set came with the score tied at 7-7, as Purchase began to pull away thanks to three mini-rallies of at least three points each.

In set two, the Panthers raced out to a quick start, scoring 12 of the first 16 points of the frame.

However, the Gryphons didn't go down without a fight. In fact, the hosts managed to regain the lead late in the set via a four-point run to leapfrog the Panthers, 20-19.

Purchase then answered with back-to-back points, before the two sides traded points to an eventual, 22-22 tie score.

From there, the guests scored three of the final four points to seal the win, 25-23.

Following the tough loss, the hosts answered with a vengeance in the third set, taking the lead early and never relenting in the 25-15 performance.

With the dropped set, the Panthers regained their focus in the fourth and final frame.

Over the course of the stanza, the squad reeled off four runs of three-straight points or more to create separation between themselves and the Gryphons, before scoring four of the final five points to win the match, 25-19.

Overall, the guests finished with 38 kills on .137 hitting, as the trio of Luca Spadinger (FR/Loudonville, NY), Chris Posillico (SR/Saltaire, NY) and Marcus Garguilo (SO/Port Washington, NY) powered the win.

The three hitters combined for 35 kills, as Spadinger finished with team-high marks in kills (13) and digs (22).

Posillico added 12 kills and 11 digs, while Garguilo tallied 10 kills, 17 digs, four aces and four blocks (two solo).
