Bensalem defeated Upper Dublin 3-0 (26-24, 25-19, 26-24) on Tuesday to advance to the program’s first ever district semifinal!

“I could not be prouder of these guys. We needed to play our A game in a big match, and we did that tonight. To see them come together, never quit, and battle back from down 22-17 in third set to finish the match was an unbelievable moment.”

“I am so happy for our libero, Luv Patel, (24 digs) who saved his best match of the year for today. He was everywhere. Plus he served tough and received great.”

“Jahaan Patel (11 kills 2 blocks) and Dev Patel (12 kills 1 block) were outstanding tonight. They have been our go to guys all year, and they delivered again when we needed them most.”

Vraj Patel (5 kills 3 blocks) and Billy Bibeck (2 kills 2 blocks) stepped up with massive plays out of the middle.

Yosuf Khan (4 kills 1 block) and Roman Walsh (7 digs 2 kills) made timely plays for the Owls. Serving specialist Shiv Patel kept the pressure on all night and Veer Patel passed and defended well.

Setter Veer Patel (35 assists 1 kill 1 ace 1 block 8 digs) ran the offense very well and kept everyone involved. “Veer is our rock – he is so steady and even keeled in big pressure moments.”
