The Saint Elizabeth Men's Volleyball team opened its 2024 season this weekend with two exciting matches against in-state opponents. New Head Coach Dan Crespo led the Eagles against Drew University on Friday and Rutgers University Newark on Saturday. Although the new-look Eagles would drop both matches there were certainly some positive performances to be proud of.


On Friday, Saint Elizabeth made the short drive down Madison Ave to take on rival Drew University. Graduate student Kodi Peters led the Eagles with 6 kills. Junior Diego Rondon contributed 10 assists. Sophomore Kyzier Kelly was able to beat the Ranger defense with 2 aces on the night. Freshman Eusebio Veras made his Eagles debut and looked promising recording 1 block. Jerry Chably led the Eagles with a team-high 5 digs.


On Saturday, the Eagles made their home debut against the Scarlet Raiders of Rutgers University Newark. Kodi Peters led the Eagles in attacking with 9 kills. Kennedy Ibezim and Eusebio Veras also contributed with 6 kills and 5 kills respectively.
