In what was a pretty evenly matched game across the board, the Eagles fell to UConn 3-2 in the second round of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship today. This was BC’s second appearance in the tournament and first time past round 1.
The Huskies scored the first point of the game, but the game quickly tied up at 1 after UConn hit the ball out of bounds. The game started out with a number of long, back and forth rallies, and the teams then began trading points back and forth.
The Eagles built a 15-10 lead, but UConn came out of a timeout break to score 3 straight points and cut the BC lead to 2.
