For the third straight season, the top-seeded Wentworth Institute of Technology men's volleyball team (30-1) captured the Great Northeast Athletic Conference championship title, downing the third-seeded Rivier Raiders (19-14) in straight sets Saturday afternoon.

Each of the Leopards last three titles have been won in front of a packed home crowd, while Wentworth's 2024 championship clinches the program's fourth straight NCAA Tournament berth and sixth overall.

Juniors Sam Etter (Massillon, Ohio) and Josh Milke earned their respective spots on the GNAC all-tournament team while senior Jacob LaBouliere was named the tournament's most outstanding player.

UPDATE: In a five-set thriller in Tansey Gym on Saturday night, the third-ranked Wentworth men's volleyball team fell in a historic back-and-forth battle with the No. 8-ranked Vassar Brewers, ending their run in the NCAA Division III Men's Volleyball Tournament. With the loss, Wentworth caps their most successful season in program history with a 31-2 record while Vassar moves to the Final Four with a 25-7 mark.
