Bronx, N.Y. – Fordham made it four wins in four days with Saturday's sweep of the University of Pennsylvania, 25-23, 25-23, 25-15, capping an overall sweep of the 19th Rose Hill Classic. Penn, Niagara, and Fairleigh Dickinson all went 1-2 over two days. The Rams are now 5-1 overall on the season.
 
Fordham overcame a two-point deficit early in the opening set with five straight points on freshman Makenzie Colvin's serve and then weathered a five-point rally to tie the frame up, 15-15, to control the set the rest of the way, starting the slim 10-8 run with a Chloe Pejouan kill and capping it with an Aria De La Rosa kill.
 
The Rams led for much of the second set but allowed the Quakers to regain control of the frame with another five-point rally, 18-17, and eventually leading, 20-19, before the hosts took over. A Julia Bradshaw service error knotted the set up at 20-all and gave Colvin the ball once again. De La Rosa and Lauren Arzuaga combined for a block and De La Rosa sandwiched a Penn point with a pair of kills. Penn got within one, 24-23, but Arzuaga came through a clutch kill to seal the set.
 
The hosts used a four-point rally early in the third set to lead by three, 7-4, and never trailed again, opening up a lot of breathing room in the middle of the frame.
 
Moody was the lone Ram to finish with double figure kills, posting 11 and adding seven digs, two blocks, and an ace. De La Rosa continued her fine form with eight kills and a .500 hit percentage, adding four blocks and an ace. The trio of Arzuaga, Pejouan, and Zoe Talabong each recorded six kills, while Mallory Lipski racked up 19 digs, plus an ace. Colvin finished with 23 assists, partnering with Megan Brzozowski, who had nine assists and seven digs.
 
The Rams next head out to the Midwest to compete in North Dakota's UND Classic. They'll open up a two-match slate against Montana State on Friday at 6 p.m.
