RVCC came out strong in the first set behind Tess Rogovin's serving. The setter gave the Lions a 7-1 cushion before Middlesex earned back the ball. Rogovin set her season high with 30 assists on the day. The Lions have preyed on teams that can't handle strong serves, and Saturday was no different. The Lions had 20 service aces on the night and were led by Sophomore Rosemarie Perna's 6 aces. Freshmen Molly Vander Horn and Hannah Chiswick each had 5 service aces while Freshman Xaviera Wilson had 3 service aces of her own. Chiswick again led the team in kills with 13 on the day. Both middle blockers weren't far off the pace as Sophomore Bryahna Shaw notched 7 kills and Freshman Zaloni Johnson had 9.
