Providence, RI), Caitlin Callahan, and Emileigh Cenedella were stellar combining for 29 of the Raiders 37 passes to allow RIV to run full tilt on offense. The trio also picked up 9,3, and 7 digs respectively. Setter Lauren Saccoccio directed a great offense dishing out 31 assists and blew game 3 wide open with a 15 point run on her serve.
