With home court advantage, Syracuse volleyball had hopes of improving on its .500 season so far; however, that didn’t play at Friday’s second-day action for the Syracuse Tournament.
The Orange started Friday with a solid performance against Hofstra winning 3-1 as four Orange players — Polina Shemanova, Bre Walp, Viktoriia Lokhmanchuk and Naomi Franco — had at least 10 kills each.
In the evening match, Yale swept the Orange 3-0 that concluded with a close 25-22 final set.
On Thursday, the Orange battled Army, but came up short in a 3-1 loss. The tournament wrapped up Saturday with Hofstra playing both Army and Yale.
Syracuse (4-5) next travels to Storrs, Connecticut on Friday to play Bryant as part of the Dog Pound Challenge hosted by Connecticut.
