Picking up their first win of the season, the Riverhawks have finally drawn their potential together to earn the 3-0 victory over the Trojans.

              SET 1: The Riverhawks exhibited a controlling presence on the court early of the opening set, putting themselves at a comfortable lead over ACM. Although the Trojans worked to cut their deficit, solid game-play from AACC would give the Riverhawks the, 25-16, set win.

              SET 2: Without much reason to re-access strategy, the Riverhawks continued to attack each play and communicate as a team. In similar rally to the opening set – the Riverhawks took the second set 25-17.

              SET 3: Tightening up their play, the Trojans worked to keep pace with the Riverhawks – down just 2 points (16-14) as they looked to extend the match. Clearly hungry for their first win, the Riverhawks took back momentum and finished out the set, 25-16, earning the 3-0 sweep victory over the Trojans.
