KINGSTON – The La Salle volleyball team took on the Rhode Island Rams in its final road match of the season on Sunday, but the Explorers could not come up successful as they lost in straight sets, 3-0 (22-25, 12-25, 15-25).

A 4-0 run by the Explorers cut the deficit to one in the late stages of the first set, 21-20. From there, the Rams would go ahead by two, 23-21, but a Kelly Scanlon kill cut Rhode Island’s lead back to one, 23-22.
