Nashua, NH - Rivier College (6-2 GNAC; 15-11 overall) had their 5 game unbeaten streak snapped by GNAC opponent Johnson & Wales University on Tuesday night.  The Raiders came out on fire once again but couldn't make necessary in game adjustments to sustain their momentum.  RIV played flawless early on, jumping out to a 4-1 lead in set 1, and never looked back to eventually win 25-8.  The following sets were a different story as the Wildcats made necessary adjustments to take control of the match.  RIV couldn't keep up and eventually went on to drop three consecutive games to lose the match 1-3. 

Junior Danielle Jacques played well with 12 kills on 28 swings with just 3 errors for a .321 hitting percentage.  First year player Kenna Finlayson put down a team high 14 kills and added 2 blocks with 3 ace serves while middle hitters Nicole Rodriguez and Lindsay Chace combined for 11 kills.  Setters Caitie Callahan and Lauren Saccoccio combined for 31 assists, 12 digs, and 6 service aces while back row players Becky Gautreau, Emileigh Cenedella, and Danielle Stoodley combined for 35 digs.
