Starting on the road is always a tough task to start a league season.
Starting on the road against the team that everyone believes is the best in the conference is incredibly difficult.
Rosemont's women's volleyball team learned that the hard way on Wednesday night in Baltimore.
The Ravens couldn't keep up with the firepower of Notre Dame's attack, falling by a 3-0 score in the Colonial States Athletic Conference opener.
The Gators swept with game scores of 25-15, 25-11 and 25-11.
Rosemont's losing streak has grown to five games while the overall record has fallen to 3-9 and 0-1 in the CSAC. Notre Dame improved to 12-3 overall and 2-0 within the CSAC. (The Gators had defeated Centenary on Saturday afternoon in their conference opener.)
Abigail Brooks had five kills and one block on Wednesday for the Ravens. Ke'alohilani Naone-Carter had six digs, four kills and two aces.
The Ravens are back on the road on Thursday evening with a non-conference contest at Gwynedd-Mercy Academy.
