Cougars defeated by Raptors in straight sets; Quiara Brye Bey registers team-high three kills despite loss

The Medgar Evers women's volleyball team dropped a non-conference home match on Tuesday evening at the Cougars Cave in Brooklyn, NY, falling to the Raptors of Bard College by scores of 5-25, 7-25, and 13-25. With the defeat, the Cougars slipped to 0-15 on the 2023 campaign, while Bard College improved to 10-14.

The Cougars, who donned their pink jerseys in recognition of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, were paced by veteran Quiara Brye Bey, as she finalized her evening with a team-high three kills to go along with three digs. Jennifer Metra's six digs led all Medgar Evers players, and Sherly Garcia added three digs.

Bard College's Emily Hall Smith's nine kills were a match-high, as she hit .583 for the evening (9-2-12). She also contributed three digs and a service ace. LeaAnna Riley finalized her night with eight kills (.313), and Ryan Lum and Abi Batingan contributed seven kills apiece. Lum's 13 service aces were also a match-high, and Adi David's 28 assists led all players.

After the Raptors captured the first two sets convincingly, Medgar Evers kept things intriguing in the third set. Bard took an 8-3 advantage in the third, but the Cougars battled back, with a Brye Bey service ace bringing Medgar Evers to within a point at 11-10.

The Raptors responded, however, scoring the next five consecutive points to take a commanding 16-10 edge. That run featured a kill by Hall, a pair of kills by Riley, and a pair of errors by Mariame Gueye. For the remainder of the set, Bard never led by less than six, advancing to win the set by 12, and essentially, sweep the match.

Bard finished the evening with 26 service aces.

Medgar Evers will return to the court on Monday evening, as the Cougars will take to the road to battle SUNY Purchase. Start-time is scheduled for 7:00pm.
