Game #9 Holy Cross Ends Broadneck's Five-Match Winning Streak in Four Sets Bruins take the third set but cannot complete the comeback against the 13-2 Tartans. DMV Volley | October 5, 2026 KENSINGTON, Md. — Broadneck's impressive run of five consecutive sweeps ended Monday against one of the region's stronger nonconference opponents. The Academy of the Holy Cross defeated the Bruins, 25-21, 25-13, 17-25, 25-16, dropping Broadneck to 6-2. The Tartans entered the contest with a 12-2 record and demonstrated their quality by taking the opening two sets. Broadneck refused to go quietly. After struggling in the second set, the Bruins responded with a 25-17 victory in the third, keeping alive their hopes of extending the match. Holy Cross regained control in the fourth, closing out the victory 25-16. For Broadneck, the defeat represented a change from its recent dominance. The Bruins had not surrendered a set during their previous five matches. The result also came at a demanding point in the schedule. Broadneck was set to return home the following day to face Arundel, another team with a winning record. That quick turnaround o`ered the Bruins an immediate opportunity to respond. DMV Volley Takeaway: The Holy Cross match exposed Broadneck to a higher level of resistance. How the Bruins responded against Arundel would provide an important measure of their resilience.
