Jersey City, NJ - The College of Mount Saint Vincent's men's volleyball team returned to the court on Saturday afternoon, this time for a Skyline Conference tri-match against New Jersey City University and Sarah Lawrence College. This double header came off the heels of the Dolphins' first win of 2020 and they were looking to continue add to the win column. 

The first contest saw CMSV take on the Gryphons, the same team they beat just days ago. The Dolphins saw similar results on Saturday morning as they won in four sets (25-14, 24-26, 25-19, 25-17). Freshman Mark Nilaj made his season debut and dominated with a team-high 15 kills and a 42% kill percentage. Classmate Felix Paulino also finished with double-digit kills (12). Senior Padelis Astrinidis added 23 assists to the stat sheet while Samuel Martinez added five kills and five block assists. 

Unfortunately for the Dolphins, the match against the Gothic Knights didn't go as planned (18-25, 10-25, 12-25). CMSV was only able to register eight kills over the three sets and were led by Paulino (three). Miguel Losa led the team with four assists while Martinez secured a solo block. 

Skyline Conference action rolls on in the coming days, with the 2-1 Dolphins playing host to Purchase College this coming Monday.
