HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Anchorwomen went on a 9-0 run in a dominant second set as they held the Bucs to just nine points in a 25-9 win to tie the match, 1-1.
 
• The offense did not slow down for RIC in the third as five kills by freshman outside hitter Sarina Marines (Cranston, R.I.) elevated the Anchorwomen to another 25-9 victory and a 2-1 lead.
 
• The Anchorwomen were able to finish the job in the fourth frame when freshman right side hitter Talia Lewis (Sacramento, Calif.) recorded the final two kills to take the set, 25-13, and seal the victory.
 
• Freshman setter Yuleisy Alvelo (Springfield, Mass.) handed out a match-high 33 assists.
