THE BASICS

RECORDS: Suffolk (0-3) | Conn. College (2-0)
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Suffolk fell in a 5-0 hole in the first set that grew to a double-digit distance, 19-9. That gap was too large for the Rams to make up as the teams nearly traded points the rest of the opening frame, which went to the Camels.
- The second stanza was more a back-and-forth affair with a five-point margin, 15-10, in Conn. College's favor at the midway point. Suffolk remained in a five-point hole, 20-15, before the Camels put the set away thanks to a 5-3 set-ending run.
- The third stanza featured seven tied scores and three lead exchanges. It was Suffolk that came out on top 26-24 as Emily Norgrove knocked down a kill and Sami Shore and Jordyn Mik combined for a kill for the final two points out of a 24-all tie.
- Suffolk jumped out to an 8-2 fourth frame advantage. The Camels clawed back with a 12-4 stretch to flip the script in their favor, 14-12. The score would lock twice more down the stretch with the last at 20-all. Conn. College outscored the blue-and-gold 5-1 the rest of the way to clinch the set and match.
