BOSTON, Mass. – Guided by a combined 23 kills from the duo of senior Jacob LaBouliere (Pipersville, Pa.) and sophomore Benjamin Moughon (Mercer Island, Wash.), the top-ranked Wentworth Institute of Technology men's volleyball team (22-0, 8-0 GNAC) kept their record-breaking season record unblemished versus the crosstown Emmanuel Saints (12-7, 5-3 GNAC), sweeping their conference foe in straight sets.
