ALFRED, N.Y. – SUNY Geneseo first-year outside hitter Gabrielle Ayzenberg totaled nine kills to lead the Knights to a 3-0 (25-14, 25-16, 25-21) sweep at Alfred, Wednesday. The victory was Geneseo's eighth in a row. 

HOW IT HAPPENED 

• In the first set, Geneseo turned a close 10-8 game into a 20-12 edge and scored five of the final seven points to earn the opening win. 
• The Knights trailed, 6-3, early in the second, but a 7-0 run, including four service aces by sophomore outside hitter Abby May, put the Knights up 10-6. Leading 15-9, Geneseo pushed its lead to as many as eight down the stretch to clinch a 2-0 lead. 
• The teams played a tight third set with neither team leading by more than two points. Trailing 19-17, Geneseo closed the match with an 8-2 run that include a pair of Ayzenberg kills. 

QUICK FACTS
