WESTON, Mass. – Albertus Magnus College used set scores of 25-12, 25-14, and 25-19 to defeat Regis College on Wednesday night in non-conference men's volleyball action in Weston, Mass. The Pride fall to 1-8 overall on the year, while the Falcons move back to .500 at 8-8 in 2013.

Dan Berdichevsky (Wayland, Mass.) made it an 8-4 deficit with a service ace of his own, but that would be as close as Regis would get as the Falcons built leads in excess of 13 points en route to the 25-14 win.

Albertus Magnus was the team to take an early lead in set three, taking advantage of a pair of Pride errors and a Justin Tharau (Burlington, Conn.) kill to build an early 3-0 lead. Another Berdichevsky ace made it a 7-4 deficit early, and the Pride clawed to within three on Claude Jean's first service ace of the season to make it a 16-13 game.
