ST. LOUIS – Rochester had the unfortunate luck to run into fourth-ranked Emory University on Saturday afternoon right after Chicago had beaten Emory in the second University Athletic Association round robin.

The Eagles took their frustrations out on the Yellowjackets, winning, 25-8, 25-11, 25-14. In Rochester's first match, NYU posted a 3-1 victory (18-25, 25-11, 25-15, 25-11). Rochester takes an overall mark of 8-20 (0-5 UAA) into Sunday's action with Case Western Reserve and Carnegie Mellon waiting in the wings. Results from the two round robins will determine the seedings for the UAA championships in early November at Brandeis University.
