Baruch visits No. 2 Hunter at 6 p.m., while John Jay travels to top-seeded New Jersey City for a 7 p.m. semifinal.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch and John Jay both swept their opponents Tuesday night to move into the CUNY semifinals, extending the local postseason spotlight on New York college athletics. Defending champion Baruch overwhelmed No. 6 Lehman 25-12, 25-15, 25-21, and No. 4 John Jay downed No. 5 Brooklyn 26-24, 25-20, 25-18 at The Doghouse, advancing as the conference tournament tightens toward Thursday\u2019s matchups.<\/p>\n<h2>Game Highlights<\/h2>\n<p>Baruch controlled the tempo against Lehman from the opening whistle, posting a .370 hitting percentage for the match while holding Lehman to .113.
