LAST TIME WE MET THE REDHAWKS
Saturday will be the first time the two teams will face one another.

Saint Francis dueled against fellow ECC opponent Dominican on February 21-22. The squads split the series, with the Red Flash claiming a 3-1 victory on the 22nd.

LAST TIME OUT
Saint Francis took a trip to the Carolinas to play against Queens University of Charlotte and Erskine March 4-5. The Red Flash dropped the first match to the Royals, but bounced back with a four set win over the Flying Fleet the following night.

Kyle Charles, Andrew Deardorff, and Michael Mosbacher earned NEC weekly awards for their performances. Charles claimed First Point/NEC Defensive Player of the Week, Rookie of the Week, and prime performer. Deardorff was named Player of the Week and prime performer. Mosbacher rounded out the honors with a prime performer selection.

Charles continued his stellar rookie season with statistics of 87 assists (10.88 per set), 23 digs, three blocks, three kills, and one ace combined between last week's matches. The freshman setter increased his season total number of assists to 526.

Deardorff collected 31 kills, 10 digs, eight service aces, three assists, and one block through the two matches. The senior outside hitter posted 16 and 15 slams to claim his 11th and 12th match of double-digit kills in the last 13 contests. In the second contest against Erskine, he achieved a career-high seven service aces, the most by a Red Flash player since Marc Honore's seven versus Rutgers-Newark on March 9, 2007.

Deardorff leads the team with 246 kills and 31 aces.

Mosbacher achieved his second prime performer of the 2025 campaign after recording 30 kills, seven digs, three blocks, and three aces in the two battles last week. The senior outside hitter had a season-high 19 kills in the first match against Queens and followed it up with 11 the next night. He is up to 119 slams this season.
