Box Score BRISTOL, R.I.--In a matchup of Commonwealth Coast Conference league unbeatens, host Roger Williams swept Western New England 25-13, 25-19, 25-23 on Tuesday evening at Hawks Recreation Center Gymnasium. Despite the loss, the Golden Bears (18-11, 6-1 CCC) can still gain the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in next week's CCC Championship Tournament with a win over Endicott College in the regular season finale. The Hawks improve to 20-5 overall and 8-0 in the CCC, capturing their first unblemished conference slate since 2011 and the top-seed in the CCC Championship.

Western New England held the Hawks to their lowest team-hitting percentage in almost three weeks at .157, but could muster only .038 of offense on its own.

In the opening set, the Hawks scored the first two points en route to kicking off a 10-5 run to begin the match. Roger Williams led wire-to-wire in the frame, taking advantage of WNE miscues. In the first, the Golden Bears committed seven hitting errors, two ball handling errors, two reception errors, and one serving error. The Hawks closed out the set on a 7-2 run capped off by a Brittany McMullen kill to win by 12 points.

Western New England fared better in the second set. After RWU scored the first three points, junior Kelsey Armstrong later notched a kill to give WNE its first lead of the match (4-3). Both teams battled back and forth, eventually tying the set at nine apiece. Flaherty put away a point that helped kick off a 10-4 run to give RWU a six-point lead. WNE pulled as close as three, but the Hawks would eventually take the set 25-19 on a Golden Bear hitting error.

The third set saw WNE get back into the match and dominate early on. RWU scored the first point on a Kristen Boyer service ace, but the Golden Bears would take the next five points for a 10-4 lead. Hajdusek spiked a point to put the Golden Bears on top 15-7, their largest lead of the match.

After a Hawk timeout, Roger Williams began to erase the deficit, using timely hitting and WNE errors. A blocking error by WNE capped off an 8-2 run by Roger Williams to tie the match at seven and force a Golden Bears timeout. Roger Williams would maintain its momentum and the lead. The Golden Bears came close to forcing a fourth set with the Hawks leading 24-23, but a Boyer kill clinched the match for RWU.

Western New England closes out the regular season Saturday at home against Endicott for Senior Day at the Alumni Healthful Living Center. Roger Williams' next match will be hosting duties in the form of the CCC Semifinals on Thursday, Nov. 6.
