After going down by four points to start set three, kills by Lauren Guzman (Cranston, R.I.) and Savas got the Curry offense going, leading to a 7-6 advantage for the home team.

With the score tied at 28-28, back-to-back kills by Sonja Matheson (Voluntown, Conn.) won the set for the Colonels.

The Colonels jumped out to a commanding 7-3 lead to start set four, prompting a timeout from Mass. Maritime. The Buccaneers once again fought back to regain the lead and come out on top.
