LA VERNE, Calif. -- Nazareth dropped a pair of women's volleyball matches Friday during the first day of the Leopard Invitational at the University of La Verne.

The Golden Flyers had a 10-match winning streak snapped in a five-set loss to New York University in the first match. Scores were 23-25, 21-25, 25-22, 25-15, 15-10. It marked NYU's third victory over the Golden Flyers this season. Senior Katelynn Reed and freshman Amy Johnson each had seven kills and senior Mallorie Clary had 22 digs, but the Golden Flyers couldn't overcome 34 hitting errors, which resulted in a negative hitting percentage for the match.

In their second match, the Golden Flyers lost to host La Verne in three sets 25-14, 25-14, 25-23. Nazareth managed only 21 kills in the match.

Nazareth plays two more matches Saturday -- at 2:30 p.m. eastern time against ninth-ranked Wisconsin-Whitewater and at 7:30 p.m. against Chapman.
