The Vassar College men’s volleyball team looks to up its home record this evening to 3-1 on the season, entertaining the Cougars of Medgar Evers College. Vassar split a pair of contests in Kenyon Hall this last weekend, defeating New Jersey City University in four games, only to turn around and fall in four to Wentworth Institute of Technology. The Brewers will use tonight as a tune-up for the first United Volleyball Conference matches of the season, as they head to Elmira College to battle No. 10 NYU and No. 14 Elmira in league action. Freshman Matthew Knigge paces the Brewer offense with a team-best 81 kills and .399 hitting percentage, while junior captain Reno Kriz adds 77 kills and 2.48 kills per set. Freshman Zechariah Lee has handed out 262 assists, tops among VC players, and fellow newcomer Jorge Rivera has posted 69 kills as well.
A Look at THE COUGARS
Medgar Evers is off to a tough start this season. After losing in five sets to St. Joseph’s College – Brooklyn, the Cougars have been swept in each of their next four matches, including three-set losses to Hunter and York in conference play. Though historically a solid program, Medgar Evers has struggled the past few years, with the team’s last win coming on March 19, 2011. The Cougars run most of their offense through junior middle hitter Jamal Chance. Chance leads the team with 45 kills on the season on 131 total swings, and also has recorded a team-high 12 aces and 12 total blocks. Freshman outside hitter Denzel Williams and sophomore setter Angel Seda have registered 19 and seven kills, respectively. Seda runs the offense, totaling 61 assists on the young season. On defense, Chance and junior outside hitter Adiel Ramos Munoz pace the team with 23 digs apiece.

BREWER BIO on ... Quinn Rutledge Rutledge, a sophomore outside hitter and setter from Chesterfield, Virginia, has served as a utility player for the Brewers over his two seasons. Rutledge is a very solid overall volleyball player, and his comprehensive skills allow him to serve multiple roles within the team. Rutledge started the season as the backup setter, as teammate Colin White-Dzuro worked back from injury, and now is working to get reps as an outside hitter for the Brewers. Rutledge projects well as a left side, as he can play all the way around and has solid ball control. Rutledge enters the game tonight with 16 kills on the season, posting four service aces and 17 digs as well thus far. Against Mount Ida College earlier this season, Rutledge handed out 23 dimes, and he has posted a season-high of four kills against both Springfield College and Bard College.
