How it Happened
Rhode Island was officially eliminated from postseason contention as it was swept 25-11, 25-17, 25-15 by George Washington Saturday night. The Rams (6-19, 1-12 A10) could not stop the GW tandem of Alexis Rodriguez (11 kills, 2 errors, .409 attack percentage) and Nicanora Clarke (10 kills, 0 errors, .476 attack percentage) as the Revolutionaries (12-13, 7-6 A10) had little trouble securing the win.

Set 1 - George Washington 25, Rhode Island 11
Rhode Island had 13 attack errors in the opening set, as the visiting Revolutionaries rolled in the opening set. George Washington needed just six kills to take the lopsided set. Alexis Rodriguez had three kills to lead the way.

Set 2 - George Washington 25, Rhode Island 17
The second set was never tied after George Washington took the first point. The visitors scored five of the first six points and Rhode Island never got closer than two points the rest of the set. Nicanora Clarke had six kills with no errors in eight swings to lead GW to a .486 attack percentage. Rhode Island hit a respectable .270 in the set, but it could not keep up.

Set 3 - George Washington 25, Rhode Island 15
Another fast start that featured two kills and two blocks by Simone Assasie saw George Washington jump out to a 6-1 lead. The deficit never got below four points again as the Revolutionaries cruised to the victory.
