Ryan Baker's Comments
"This was a match where our errors really hurt us. We had a lot more positives than last week against the same American team. We have a lot of positives to learn from and will prepare for two tough road matches."

Set 1 | Colgate 25, American 12
A quick Raider run, including a solo block from Julia Headley and a service ace from Hannah Langton, gave Colgate a 4-2 lead. The Raiders quickly doubled their advantage with four kills and two service aces to take a 12-6 lead. A pair of kills from Tiana Owens helped Colgate extend its advantage during a 6-1 run, pushing the lead to 18-8. The Raiders closed out the first set with an Eagles attacking error to win 25-12.

Set 2 | American 25, Colgate 15
American set the tone early in the second set, capitalizing on two service aces and Raider attacking errors to take a 7-3 lead. Colgate cut the deficit to two, 8-6, on a pair of kills from Owens, but American found its rhythm, adding 11 points to extend its lead to 19-9. Colgate continued to battle, but American sealed the second set, 25-15, to even the match at one set apiece.

Set 3 | American 25, Colgate 22
Both teams traded points early in the third set as Colgate took a 7-5 lead on an Owens kill and service ace.

The Raiders maintained a 15-12 lead, highlighted by a key kill from Charlotte Goldfeder, but American's offense responded to regain an 18-16 advantage.

Set 4 | American 25, Colgate 19
