Despite a slow start the Rams (11-1) rallied back after going behind in the first set (2-10) to go on and win the set 25-20.
“It was a sluggish start,” Rams coach Chris LeBlanc said. “Junior captain Amanda Hughes put down a kill to get the serve back for the Rams and that is when senior captain Linda Jallow went to work with six consecutive aces.”
Once the Rams tied the set at 10-10, they got in their groove, cruising to the set win.
After winning the first set, the Rams didn’t look back and never trailed for the rest of the match, winning the second set 25-15 and the final set 25-4 to complete the sweep.
Sophomore setter Emma Chevalier had a career day with 28 assists and five aces, while Hughes had a season high of 13 kills to go along with four aces.
Linda Jallow contributed with eight aces while Nevaeh Eth finished the game with seven kills and two aces.
The Rams next match is on Wednesday, when they travel to Lynn English in a match to raise money for domestic violence awareness in honor of Lynn Public Schools teacher Angela Masucci. The match is scheduled to start at 5:15 p.m.
