Adil El Haddad continues to collect assists and has a team-high 82 through just four matches.

Tim Driscoll and Stephen Eddy both lead the team with 23 digs and will look to improve upon that mark here this afternoon.
News & Notes: All three teams come into today's tri-match on a losing skid. Penn State was previously on a two-match win streak before dropping a close 3-2 defeat to Medaille. The Bears have yet to win a match this season and have been swept, 3-0 in all seven of their losses. The Dolphins have dropped three CUNYAC matches in a row and will want to use today's tri-match to rebound and return to the win column.
