Kean University Men’s Volleyball team made it their fifth straight year as Skyline Conference Champions after they swept Ramapo College 3-0 on Sunday afternoon, April 10.

The Cougars (30-6) were led by sophomore Jacob Kauffman, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the championship game.

His teammate, freshman Zack Lynne, who plays the libero position spoke on Jacob’s great performance.

“Jake played really well he’s a good team player,” Lynne said. “He put away some balls when we needed him to and he’s not that selfish. It was a good team win.”

Third year Head Coach Charlie Ginex had some positive words to say about his team’s victory against Ramapo College.

“They were very focused,” Ginex said. “They were playing a very great team, although we beat them twice this year. They were very dangerous, they had a lot of great players. Frankly, it wasn’t even close, we were so focused, we took care of business pretty fast.”

The Cougars are on the verge of finishing up a promising season hosting Endicott College April 16th for the NCAA Division III Championship Opening Round.
