How It Happened
- Colgate got off to a quick start in the first set, opening the match on a 7-2 run. The Raiders dominated the opening frame the rest of the way, leading by as many as seven on multiple occasions as it posted a 25-18 victory and took a 1-0 lead.
- The second set was a back-and-forth battle that included a total of 14 ties and five lead changes. Loyola held an 18-12 lead late in the frame when a kill by Seely sparked the Raiders to an 8-2 spurt that tied the set at 20-all. The two sides traded points until, with the score deadlocked at 23-23, a kill by senior Kenzie Hume and a Greyhounds attack error sent Colgate to a 25-23 decision and a 2-0 margin.
- The Raiders once again used a quick start to their advantage in the third set, rattling off 11 of the first 15 points of the set to build an 11-4 cushion. Colgate held a 16-8 margin midway through the frame when Loyola notched five consecutive points to pull within three, 16-13. That would be as close as the Greyhounds would get, however, as the Raiders recorded a 25-20 victory to sweep the match.
