HOW IT HAPPENED
- Wentworth opened the conference match hitting a booming .750 in the first set, as five aces from Drew Potter (Towson, Md.) led the Leopards to a 12-1 lead early on. Wentworth built a 21-5 lead on the heels of an 8-1 run and a combined three aces from Zack Anglen (Carmel, Ind.) and Alex McLane (Columbus, Ohio), and closed the set with a 4-2 spurt.
- The beginning stages of the middle set proved closer than the first, as Colby-Sawyer hung on due to several Wentworth service and attack errors. Giovani Dos Reis registered the Chargers' first kill of the set to trail by four, 11-7, before Wentworth turned a 5-0 run with three consecutive aces from Tristan McDonough (Shelton, Conn.) to build a substantial lead that held throughout the set's remainder.
- The Leopards swept the Chargers with small and efficient runs in the last set, and used an .086 sideout percentage to earn their fifth conference victory.
