After falling behind early, the Crimson failed to overtake the Raiders, and so Rivier was able to clinch back-to-back wins, 22-30 and 26-30, respectively. “In the second and third game, we kind of started out a little flat, which we can’t do, especially this weekend [against Rutgers],” said senior outside hitter Jordan Weitzen...
