How It Happened (Match 1 vs. Ferrum)

• The teams went back and forth until it was 6-all which is when Randolph-Macon started to take control of the match. Madison Warlick (Sr., Charlottesville, Va. / Albemarle) sparked an 8-0 run with a kill that was immediately followed by three kills from Sydney Koch (Sr., Raleigh, N.C. / Sanderson). Koch ended up with seven in the set.
• The second set saw the Jackets use another mid-set run to go up by double-digits. The Lemon and Black scored eight of 10 points to take a 19-9 lead after another Warlick kill. The Panthers didn't go away quietly and eventually scored five consecutive points to get to 19 before the Lemon and Black scored game point.
• Randolph-Macon wasted little time in the third. The Jackets reeled off the first six points and never trailed. They led by as many as 14 after kills by Koch, Grace Parker (Jr., Andover, N.J. / Pope John XXIII), and a Ferrum error made the score 24-10.

• Game 2 was all RMC as it never trailed. The Jackets jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the early part of the set and reached its largest lead with the final point on a kill by Warlick.
