Lawrenceville, New Jersey – The Quinnipiac women's volleyball team returned to action and swept the Rider Broncs in straight sets on Friday night in New Jersey.

Rider made it a four-point set, but the Bobcats still lead 24-20 as they called a timeout of their own. After Rider scored the first point out of the break, a kill from Yagmur Gunes got the Bobcats their set point to go up 1-0 in the match.

Out of the break, the Bobcats went on a 4-0 scoring run to force Rider to use a timeout of their own. Rider cut the Bobcat lead to one, 23-22, as QU called their final timeout of the opening set. Out of their own timeout, the Bobcats scored two of the next three points to win the second set.

Rider held the early advantage, 8-7, in the third set as Kyle Robinson called the first timeout of the third set.
