BRONX, N.Y.— The York College men's volleyball team opened up CUNY Athletic Conference play in impressive fashion, as they swept both Brooklyn College and Lehman College on Saturday morning. York started the day with a 3-0 (25-22, 28-26, 25-19) victory over the Bulldogs, before defeating the host Lightning, 3-0 (25-14, 25-19, 25-13). With the two victories, York (5-2, 2-0 CUNYAC) has now won five straight matches.

Avinash Thomas totaled 29 assists to go along with three kills.
