WALTHAM, Mass. – The Bentley volleyball team takes a 15-match winning streak to the Granite State Saturday, Oct. 24, where the Falcons take on Saint Anselm at 2 p.m.
 
Winning by (at least) the dozen
Bentley (16-6, 5-0 NE10) has put together winning streaks of at least 12 matches in each of the past four seasons. In addition to the current 15-match winning streak, Bentley won 23 consecutive matches in 2025, 12 consecutive matches in 2024, and 14 consecutive matches in 2023. The Falcons are also currently riding a 41-match winning streak against East Region teams.
 
Triple play
Earlier this week three Falcons earned Northeast 10 weekly honors. Tory Vitko was named the NE10 Setter of the Week for the third time this season, Yasmin Tonon was named the NE10 Rookie of the Week for the second time this season, and Makayla Kuykendall earned NE10 Defensive Player of the Week for the first time in her young career.
 
Quick work
Bentley beat Assumption at home in three sets this week (Oct. 20). The Falcons spread their attack so much so that no player posted double-digit kills. Bentley finished the contest with a .342 hitting percentage – their third best mark of the season.
