JERSEY CITY, N.J. – The Saint Peter's volleyball team (7-20, 2-14 MAAC) returns home to Run Baby Run Arena this weekend for its last two matches of the 2025 season. The Peacocks are hosting Marist (9-19, 7-9 MAAC) on Friday, Nov. 14, at 6 p.m. ET before playing Siena (13-17, 8-8 MAAC) on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m.
Prior to Saint Peter's matchup vs. Siena, the Peacocks will celebrate their five seniors with a Senior Day Ceremony. The five seniors include
Elena Bilhartz,
Cleopatra Diakou,
Sydney Kuzma,
Liz Reyes Pagan and

Despite the finish this season, this group of seniors has made an everlasting impact on the Saint Peter's volleyball program. Bilhartz and Kuzma each came to Jersey City in 2022 and have been Peacocks ever since. Diakou, Reyes Pagan and Marrero George all joined Saint Peter's volleyball in 2024, but have contributed tons on and off the court in their two years here.
