With the loss, the Rambelles fall to 11-16 on the season and 7-8 in conference play.

All three sets featured the Belles jumping to early leads before being reeled in and passed by the Lady Patriots.

Marina Sanchez and Kaila Garnett paced the Belles attack with seven kills apiece, while teammate Elsa Lamphere had six and Grace White and Sydney Mundkowsky both had five.
