finished with an .078 hitting percentage, while the Huskies (10-5,
1-0 CAA) hit .188 for the match.

Clegg (Boise, Idaho) provided a fine defensive effort
with 10 total blocks, including two solos, for the Rams. Senior

(Lititz, Pa.) added six kills and sophomore Marisa
Low (Carlsbad, Calif.) registered 10 digs.
Two-time All-CAA selection Britney Brown led Northeastern with 14
kills, 15 assists and three blocks, while libero Jessica LaScola
frustrated VCU with 19 digs for the Huskies.

p.m.
