San Diego, CA - The UC Riverside volleyball team concluded the USD Invitational on Saturday afternoon with a heart breaking 3-2 loss to Northeastern.
The Highlanders (1-6) won the first two sets 26-24 and 27-25, but lost the next three sets 25-13, 25-23, and 15-7.
Shelby LeDuff led UCR with 16 kills and 15 digs, while Monique Holt added 14 kills and 11 digs. Two other Highlanders added double-digit kills as Bianca Endersby and Annishia McCoy both had 11.
Megan Patterson recorded 17 digs to lead UCR, while Megan Reza posted a game-high 5 blocks.
UCR led 8-1 early in the first set, but the Huskies came back to make it a close contest later in the frame. Tied at 21, UCR took a set-point lead at 24-21 after two Holt kills and one Patterson kill. However, three kills by Northeastern's Janelle Tucker tied the set at 24.
Another Holt kill gave the Highlanders a 25-24 lead, and an attack error by the Huskies lifted UCR to a 26-24 win.
The second set was a real battle as there were 10 tie scores and four lead changes. UCR was down 18-14 midway through the set, but rallied to take a 24-22 lead.
The Huskies scored three straight to take a 25-24 lead, but another Holt kill tied the set at 25. An attacking error by Northeastern gave UCR a 26-25 advantage, and an Endersby kill closed out the set as the Highlanders took a 2-0 lead in the match.
Northeastern took an early lead in set three and never looked back, cruising to a 25-13 win to close the match to 2-1.
Down 16-10 in the fourth set, UC Riverside closed the gap to one at 19-18. From that point on, the Huskies' lead was never higher than two, but UCR could not tie it up as Northeastern held on for the 25-23 win.
In the fifth and final set, Northeastern jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but the Highlanders capitalized on two Huskies errors and two LeDuff kills to take a 4-3 advantage.
Tied at 5-5, Northeastern rallied for eight straight points taking a 13-5 lead en route to a 15-7 come-from-behind victory.
UCR's Holt was named to the USD Invitational All-Tournament Team after averaging 2.12 kills per set and 1.75 digs per set while hitting .227 over the three matches.
