Vestal, N.Y. – The UMBC Volleyball team dropped the first set, but then dominated the next three to defeat third-seeded Byant (18-25, 25-19, 25-15, 25-14) in the America East Semifinals on Saturday. The win propels the Retrievers to their third-consecutive America East Championship Game appearance.

UMBC (16-8, 7-3 AE) will face fourth-seeded New Hampshire (19-9, 6-4 AE), who swept regular season champion and host Binghamton (17-8, 8-2 AE) earlier in the day, at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

HOW IT HAPPENED

UMBC took an early 11-9 lead, but Bryant (19-12, 6-4 AE) would go on a 4-0 run to retake the lead and eventually pull away for a 25-18 victory
The Bulldogs led most of the early part of the second set, but UMBC would score five in a row to turn a 12-8 deficit into a 13-12 lead.
With the set tied at 16, UMBC would go on a 4-0 run to take a 20-16 lead and never look back en route to the set victory.
The Retrievers started the third set on fire, jumping out to a 16-5 lead. The lead would balloon to as much as 15 before a late Bryant run cut into it, but UMBC scored the final two points to take the set and go up 2-1.
With the fourth set tied at five, the Retrievers scored three straight to take the lead for good. The Bulldogs would keep within striking distance, trailing 17-13, but UMBC would score the next seven points to take control and eventually win.
