No. 13 Patriots Win Their Sixth-Straight on Saturday Night

Game Recap: Men's Volleyball | 2/20/2021 9:32:00 PM

FAIRFAX, Va. – The No. 13 Mason men's volleyball team (7-1, 4-0) continued their winning ways on Saturday night, defeating Saint Francis (Pa.) (1-12, 0-6) in straight-sets.

Mason wins their sixth-straight contest and remains the last undefeated team in the EIVA heading into the fourth week of conference play. The Patriots sit in sole possession of first place in the conference.

Mason has won six in a row for the first time since reaching that mark back in 2018 (Feb.16 - March 3).

The Green & Gold have won three-straight contests in straight-set fashion, with five of Mason's seven victories coming in the form of sweeps.

"I thought we came out with a great energy and continued to press them across the game plan," head coach Jay Hosack said. "As the match wore on, we were not as clean as we had worked on and it showed. We will get back to the grind this week and work out some things."
