ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Hilbert College men’s volleyball season came to an end Tuesday night with a disappointing 3-0 loss (30-14, 30-21, 30-24) to Nazareth College in the North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) tournament play-in game.  With the win, the Golden Flyers (7-10, 3-5) earn the third seed in the upcoming conference championship crossover tournament, held at Eastern Mennonite University in Virginia.  For the visiting Hawks, their season is complete at 1-14 overall, and 0-8 in conference play.

 

Tom Maving led the winners with 12 kills and nine serving aces while Steve England chipped in with five kills and 11 digs.  The victory was the Golden Flyers fifth of the season over the Hawks.

 

Dallas Reinard (Bradford, PA/Bradford) and Dave Guercio (Cheektowaga, NY/St. Mary’s) combined for six kills while Robert Gerhard (Angola, NY/Lake Shore) contributed three kills and four digs for the Hawks in the losing effort.

 

Hilbert seniors Tom Cone (Rapid City, SD/Lincoln) and Steve Peet (West Seneca, NY/West Seneca West) complete their collegiate careers while first year coach Ryan Kingsland will look to rebuild with five returning players for the 2006 season.
