No-5 Rivier College (12-1 overall; 4-0 GNAC) collected win number twelve with a convincing 3-0 sweep over Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  The Raiders, off to the best start in program history, did it with outstanding blocking, great ball control on receive and solid serving.  Senior Scott Wright led the blocking brigade with 6 blocks while Matt Ferreira, Zach Hansen, Austin Soucy, Jared Andreozzi, and Drew Corwin all put up 2 blocks apiece.  Junior libero Kyle O'Neill led all receivers with 16 out 17 attempts while Corwin, Soucy, and Chris Convertito were flawless with 32 for 32 on receive.  RIV bombed in 7 service aces with five players scoring 1 or more winners. 

Setter Zach Hansen once again had a great all around match picking up a double double in the the three set match.  The junior dished out 43 assists and scooped up a team high 12 digs.  Andreozzi and Ferreira led all Raiders with 11 kills a piece while Soucy followed with 9 kills of his own.  Corwin, continuing to improve in his first season, laced in 7 kills (10 attempts with just 2 errors for a .500 hitting percentage) and picked up 9 digs.  Chris Deluca, Alex Xenidis, and Andrew Paine all played well off the bench for the Raiders.
