SMITHFIELD, RI -  Likica Grceva (Natick, Mass.) had 11 kills and sophomore Morgan Wood (Cedar Park, TX) added 10 kills and two blocks to lead the Bryant University volleyball team to a 3-0 win over UMass Lowell in Northeast-10 Conference action at the Chace Athletic Center Tuesday night.

The win by Bryant, the team's sixth in-a-row, improves the Bulldogs' record to 8-7 and 3-0 in the Northeast-10. 

UMass Lowell, led by Sarah Coscia's (Pittsfield, Mass.) match-high 12 kills, dips to 4-9 overall (1-2 NE-10).  The River Hawks were held to just .156 hitting in the match and had 11 total service errors. 

Grceva, this week's Northeast-10 Player of the Week, had three of Bryant's nine service aces in the match.  Setter Tiffany Garry (Frankfort, IL), this week's NE-10 Setter of the Week after a stellar weekend at the Bryant Invitational, had 34 assists plus four service aces.  The four aces puts her just three behind the all-time school record for career service aces, currently held by Marcie Monaco '99 at 326. 

Freshman Adrienne Boss (Dracut, Mass.) had a solid match, hitting .462 with seven kills in 13 swings. 

Bryant will travel to East Stroudsburg for a tournament this Friday and Saturday.
