How it Happened
After dropping the opening set 25-23, Rhody and Dartmouth kept things close all throughout the second. Neither team led by more than three points until a Jessie Blaze service ace secured Rhody the 25-21 victory and leveled the match at 1-1.

Dartmouth claimed the third set 25-19, but Rhody came back once again and evened things up at two apiece with a 25-20 win in the fourth set. The Big Green's only lead in the set came just three points in at 2-1.

The Rams eased their way to a 12-3 lead in the fifth and final set before Dartmouth used a 7-1 run to cut URI's advantage to 13-10. A Rachel Lynne Cox kill gave the Rams match point at 14-10 and Rhody later won it on a service error by Dartmouth's Olympia Nagel-Caland.
