RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Dominican (N.Y.) College emerged triumphant from a tight first set and went on to a 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-19) Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference women's volleyball victory over host Felician University on Tuesday night at Job Gymnasium.

Freshman outside hitter Lauren Mack (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) led Felician (0-11, 0-6 CACC) with seven kills and 11 digs.

Set 1 featured 11 ties and five lead changes, with the teams never separated by more than four points. A Felician side-out on a kill by Kaleysa Vodrazka (Bayonne, N.J./Bayonne) gave the hosts a 22-20 edge. But Dominican captured the next four rallies. A Lanyse Castro (Elizabeth, N.J./Elizabeth) kill saved one set point for the Golden Falcons, but Charger senior Cortney Yeoman (Glenn Dale, Md./St. John's College HS) then delivered her eighth kill of the set to give the visitors the 1-0 lead in the match.

Dominican (4-9, 3-1) built a lead of 13-7 and held off the Golden Falcons to take the second set. Felician closed a 16-10 Set 3 deficit to 16-15, but the Chargers opened their advantage back up to 22-17. With the score 23-19, consecutive kills by Dominican freshman Deanna Knopf (Hauppauge, N.Y./Hauppauge) ended the match.
