Tribune volleyball ends drought vs. Genesee
MCC continues its unbeaten start to the season.
BATAVIA, New York - The MCC volleyball team picked up a signature win and ended a six-year drought vs. Genesee Community College, defeating the Cougars in three straight sets Thursday night.
The Tribunes prevailed by the scores of 25-19, 25-16, 25-22. It was the team's first victory over the perennially-powerful Cougars since Oct. 4, 2008.
