The Violets battled Wesleyan, ultimately dropping the match to the Cardinals (26-24, 22-25, 25-19, 25-18).

"We learned a lot from this match," said Head Coach Andrew Brown. "It will prepare us for our next regular season and post season matches."

The Violets opened the match with a competitive first set, trading blows with the Cardinals before Wesleyan pulled away late to take the opener.

NYU responded in the second frame, built a close 15-9 lead, and maintained control throughout. The Violets fought offensively to keep Wesleyan at bay and took set two to even the match.

The Cardinals regained momentum in the third set and pulled ahead midway through the frame. Despite NYU's efforts to close the gap, Wesleyan held on to take the set.

The Violets continued to battle in the fourth, keeping the score close early before the Cardinals built a lead. NYU fought to stay within reach, but Wesleyan ultimately closed out the match with a set victory.

Lucianna Welles led the Violets with 15 kills, while Alden Roberts recorded a team-high 24 assists. Sienna Morales contributed seven block assists, and Lily Leung led NYU with 15 digs.
