The Wells College volleyball team finished the day at 1-1 at Misericordia University on Sept. 11. The Express beat John Jay College and fell to host Misericordia in the afternoon matinee.

Against John Jay, the Express dropped a close first set by a 25-23 score but rallied to take the next three sets with a pair of 25-20 set wins and one 25-19 set win.  Although the team dropped its match against Misericordia, the team did what it did in its previous start last Tuesday at Medaille with improvement in each consecutive set in points. This time the Express started with a 16-point set, moved to 17 points in the second set and capped the match with 22 points.
