How It Happened
Rhode Island rallied from two sets down, but eventually fell in five sets at Davidson Friday night.

After dropping the first two sets by matching 25-21 scores, the Rams (18-8, 8-5 Atlantic 10), took the third set 26-24 and cruised in the fourth 25-14 to force the deciding fifth set.

Davidson (11-16, 5-8 A-10) scored the first two points of the final set. Rhody came right back with three points of its own, including a kill and an ace on back-to-back plays by senior Cate Seman. From there, it was all Davidson, as the Wildcats went on an 8-2 run to build a 10-5 lead.

Kills from Franki Darnold and Seman pulled the Rams within 10-7, but that was as close as it got. Davidson finished the match on Hannah Rau's 12th kill of the night.
