SCOUTING THE ENGINEERS
WPI suffered their first loss in four games Tuesday night as Babson blanked the Engineers 3-0.

SCOUTING THE PIONEERS
Smith remains on the hunt for their first New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) win tonight against the Engineers.

In that game, first-year middle blocker Iris Afantchao (Windsor, Conn./Windsor) collected a career-high five blocks while junior outside hitter Xela Miller (Grenada Hills, Calif./James Monroe) added eight kills. First-year outside hitter Kimani Freeman and sophomore setter Maca Rojas (Santiago, Chile/Liceo No. 1 Javiera Carrera) rank No. 1 and 4 in the NEWMAC in service aces per set.
