In the battle of nationally ranked NJCAA DIII teams, #5 ranked Rock Valley College traveled to #2 ranked Madison College on Tuesday night and came up short.

RVC struggled hitting the ball and finished with a team hitting percentage of 0.095. The loss moves the Golden Eagles to 12-5 on the season, 4-1 in the N4C.
"We took control early and was up 18-9 in the first set," head coach
