Sweet Briar volleyball came within two serves of forcing Tuesday’s match to a game four, falling in three games to visiting Randolph-Macon College. The conference match closes out the ODAC schedule for Sweet Briar.

Down 18-15 in game three, sophomore Blair Mullally (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) served four straight points to hand Sweet Briar the slim lead at 19-18. Strong hitting and blocking at the net and scrappy defense from the Vixens helped to keep the game close and prevented a rally from Randolph-Macon.
