Bronx, NY  | After finishing 4^th in the conference during the regular season, the women's volleyball team qualified for the CUNYAC tournament. In their opening round matchup on Monday, they took on the #1 seeded Queensborough Tigers, a team that beat them twice in the regular season.

The Panthers started strong in the first set, battling back and forth until Queensborough eventually pulled away to a 25-10 win. The second set ended in a similar fashion, with the Tigers jumping out to a 15-5 lead before winning 25-13. With the season on the line, the Panthers rallied in the third set to a 21-21 tie, but it was not enough as the Tigers won 25-21. Kayshawna Richardson led all scorers with 14 kills, while Kaina Bazard and Iris Miranda had 9 assists apiece. Jennifer Santos was all over the court last night, racking up 12 digs while adding on with 3 aces.

With a three game win streak late in the season, it looked like the Panthers could sneak into the regional tournament, but with a 6-12 record in the region, they placed 9^th and fell just short of qualifying. For a full recap and boxscore of the Panthers final game, click here.
