HOW IT HAPPENED

• The Lynx were forced to play defensively for a third straight match as the heavy hitting Harford squad put Carroll on the back foot. The Carroll defense held up well early on, keeping with Harford before faltering late in the first set.
• Harford took control of the second set and used that momentum to sweep up the third set as well to take the match.
