HOW IT HAPPENED

Tuesday's match looked as if though the Beacons were going to sweep the Pride in straight sets. The Beacons earned a 25-22 win in the first set, before crushing Regis in the second with a 25-10 win. However, the Beacons offense went silent over the next two frames with Regis slipping past with a pair of 26-24 wins.

Unwilling to let their recent win-streak come to an end, the Beacons rolled past Regis in the fifth set as they earned a 15-7 decision to win their third-straight match.

Tiscareno's night consisted of a .361 hitting percentage and three block solos and two block assists. Carsen Komminsk (Worthington, Ohio) registered a career-high assists for a five-set match with 50 in the victory. Her single game performance is tied for seventh for most assists in a five-set match, after recording 54 assists on Saturday against Keene State. She is the first player in program history to put up 50 or more assists in back-to-back matches.
