LEXINGTON, Ky. --- The Randolph-Macon women's volleyball team took the road to Transylvania University for the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night. The Pioneers used a strong second and third set to move to the next round.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Pioneers took control early in the second frame, jumping out to a 10-3 lead and not looking back as errors proved costly for R-MC.
