Rice takes the 3rd set, 25-19.

Better coverage on the drop shots.

Looking like a completely different team now!

Rice up 9-2 in the 4th.

12-6 Rice. Anota really stepping up with 11 kills (only 2 attack errors) and 6 bloicks. Nicole really error-prone the first 2 sets, starting to come on strong (13 kills vs. 9 errors, 11 digs, 2 blocks).

Now 13 - 8.

18 - 11 Rice. Grace Morgan having a career day with 12 kills.

21 - 14.

Rice sends the match into the 5th set with a 25 - 18 victory. RFND.

So far, this is playing out like the UT match, except with our role in reverse. Two close losses in first two sets followed by two relatively easy victories. Let's flip the script and do a reverse sweep and take the match. RFND.

6-5 Rice in the 5th set.

9 - 6 Rice.

9 all now

Ugh. 9-9. Going to be a wild finish.

Come on, ladies. RFND
