RAVENA-COEYMANS-SELKIRK — The Ravens’ girls’ volleyball team came up with their third win of the season in a home match Monday.

RCS skated past Berne-Knox-Westerlo in the first set 25-10, but the second match was closer, ending with the Ravens up by five points, 25-20.

With their backs against the wall, the Bulldogs took an early 6-0 lead in the third set and led the set the rest of the way, taking the win at 25-17.

But the Ravens roared back in the fourth set, leading 5-0 in the opening minutes and not looking back. The team kept their opponents in the single digits until the last few plays of the set, with RCS coming away with the set win at 25-12, handing them the match.

The final match score was Ravens 3, Bulldogs 1.

The victory brings the Ravens’ season record to 3-1. Their only loss came on opening day with a 2-3 loss to La Salle Institute. The team followed that game with three straight wins against Hoosic Valley, Cohoes, and now Berne-Knox-Westerlo.

The Ravens will be on the road for their next match against Troy on Tuesday.

COEYMANS —  A man claimed he was robbed at gunpoint after responding to a dating app.

Coeymans Police received a report Jan. 24 that the man had met up with a woman he met on a social dating app and they arranged to meet at a residence at Fleming’s Trailer Park on Route 9W.

“As the victim was preparing to leave the residence, a male that was present, along with the female involved in the original dating app, both conspired to rob the victim by pulling out a handgun, pressed it to the victim’s neck and demanded cash,” according to a statement from the Coeymans Police Department.

Police say the man was released after handing over payment.

Jason M. Ellsworth, 48, and Jasmine Peppin, 27, both of Selkirk, were arrested on warrants issued by the Town of Coeymans Justice Court.

The warrants were executed last Thursday with assistance from the Albany County Sheriff’s Office and Ellsworth and Peppin were taken into custody.

A handgun was recovered, according to police.

Ellsworth and Peppin were arraigned in town court and charged with first-degree robbery and second-degree kidnapping.

They were remanded to the Albany County Jail pending further court action.
