PRINCESS, ANNE. -- The UMES Hawks had one job today: to win the match against Manhattan University to make it into the NEC Tournament. They did just that, taking down the Jaspers in four sets to get the three seed and take the trip to Loretto, Pennsylvania.

On Senior Day, Kenyon Haynes led the team with 58 assists and two service aces. However, Freshman Joshua Hightower was the star of the show, getting an astonishing 28 kills to lead the Hawks to a perfect 11-0 record in the Hytche.
