CCSU tops Hartford 3-0 in volleyball.
By David F.P.
NEW BRITAIN, CT- The Hartford Hawks and the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils are separated by just the diagonal distance across the town of West Hartford, setting up a likely rivalry. The two squads had met up a few weeks ago with CCSU picking up a 3-0 win but the Hawks were back in town looking to pick up the win. This match would also go Central’s way though as they picked up a 3 set win, though Hartford, who had an awkward first set, but then starting putting things together in set 2 and 3, gave the Blue Devils plenty to deal with including a late charge in set 3 which nearly extended the match.
As always with recaps I tend to focus on the offensive, as it is hard enough to follow the fast paced action, but this is not to in any way downgrade the importance of key sets and key defensive plays. I do note defensive saves whenever I have time to write them down.

CHESTNUT HILL, MA- It is embarrassing to say that due to a confluence of errors regarding directions and reading traffic signs I missed the first set and most of the second set, thus this report will be short. When I arrived in the small volleyball gym inside the historic Comte Forum, Boston College was already leading Hartford 1 set to 0 and was working towards winning set 2, eventually doing so with a 25-16 score.
