Box ScoreThe New York University women's volleyball team posted a victory over Brandeis University on the second day of University Athletic Association (UAA) Round Robin #1 at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, on Sunday, October 5.
After dropping two matches on Saturday, the Violets (15-8, 1-2 UAA) returned to the court on Sunday determined not to go home without a win. The goal was accomplished with a three-set sweep (25-6, 25-20, 25-9) over the Judges (5-13, 0-3 UAA).
