HOW IT HAPPENED
GAME 1Â
GW's most efficient offense came in set one, with 13 kills behind a .216 efficiency. GW fell into a 10-3 deficit and put down eight kills midway through the opening frame, but Binghamton still held a nine-point cushion at 22-13. GW went on to avoid three set points by the Bearcats, but a kill from the visitors put set one away.
A five-point Bearcat rally began set two before the Buff & Blue tallied five-straight points of their own to nearly erase the Binghamton lead at 9-8. However, the visitors would never surrender a lead in the second set, powered by a pair of four-point rallies to go ahead 2-0 in the match.
Five ties began set three, but Binghamton pulled away at 11-6, boosted by a six-point scoring run. The Bearcats extended their lead to 21-11 before putting the match away with back-to-back kills.
GAME 2Â
The five-set match saw the two teams trade sets, with Rider forcing a fifth set behind an efficient fourth set that featured the largest margin of victory this evening.
The second frame featured 14 ties, including a 25-25 tie, before Rider buried two kills to even the match at one set each. GW rode a six-point scoring run in set three to cruise to a 2-1 set advantage before momentum swung in favor of the Broncs, who took control of set four powered by a 5-1 scoring rally.
GW stretched a lead early in the fifth, going up 6-1 and staving off a Rider comeback which saw the Broncs get within one point. GW went on to score three straight, including a match-clinching block from Addie Feek and Drelling, to lift GW to its first win of the season on home court.
UP NEXTÂ
GW will visit Georgetown at 1 p.m. on Saturday for its final match of Dig the District.
