Players To Watch (CSI): Kevin Rosero is coming off of a career day in which he collected a record tying 16 kills in the match against Medgar Evers College. Rosero now has 53 kills on the year, good for fourth on the squad, and will look to add to that total tonight against the Beavers. In the last meeting between these teams Justin Edwardsen tallied a team high 10 kills in the loss and will look for a repeat performance with a different outcome.
Players to Watch (CCNY): Sebastjano Aga is coming off of a 17 kill performance against Regis. Aga hit .059 in the loss and committed 14 errors. Oleksandr Boychuk once again led the way with 23 assists to bring his season total to 470.
News and Notes: The Beavers are currently on a two match losing streak while the Dolphins are headed in the opposite direction and have won two straight and will look for their third tonight. Staten Island picked up their lone win against the Beavers last season in a match that took five sets to decide. The men are much improved since they last played CCNY in the first match of the season with new additions to the team that added some height and power that the Dolphins were lacking.
