BOX SCORE NEWARK, N.J. - Kyle Beatty (Saegertown, Pa./Saegertown) had a game-high 13 kills and hit .588, but the Saint Francis men's volleyball team lost its season finale on Friday night at NJIT by scores of 25-21, 25-21, 25-16.

Beatty had three kills in a 4-0 run early in game one to tie the score at 9-9, and another kill again brough the score even at 16-16. After NJIT took a 21-18 lead, a kill for Mike Marshman (Glenmont, N.Y./Bethlehem Central) and an attack error pulled the Flash to within a single point. But NJIT scored four of the final five points to take the set for a 1-0 lead. Marshman finished with seven kills and a .636 hitting percentage.

Colin Sherwin (Greensburg, Pa./Greater Latrobe) had a kill to make it 14-12 Flash in game two, and Beatty added two straight points to make it 16-13, but NJIT fought back with a 7-1 run to take a 20-17 lead. Marshman added two kills in the next three points to cut the deficit to two points, but SFU couldn't overcome the deficit. Sherwin finished with eight kills.

NJIT broke open a 6-6 third set with a 4-0 run as it never looked back in the game. SFU would not trail by less than three points throughout the rest of the third game, but Adam Barba (Meadville, Pa./Meadville) finished with four kills in the Flash's final seven points.

The Flash concludes the 2014 season 11-15 and 6-8 in conference play.
