The Blue Devils dropped the match by scores of 26-24, 25-12, 25-16.
Although the last two games were lop-sided, RCC stayed close down the stretch. Haley Hopf, who is from Rutland, S.D., had a block kill to make it 23-23 and she hammered down a kill to make it 24-24, but that was not enough.
RCC trailed 5-0 to start the second game, but it led 5-3 to start the third game.
