Roosevelt HS) had a career-high 17 kills, senior Jaci Buscher (Lakewood, Colo./Green Mountain HS) registered her fourth double-double of the season and the Falcons combined for a season-high 13 aces as Bentley University extended its winning streak to eight with a 3-0 Northeast-10 Conference victory in women's volleyball action at the Dana Center Tuesday evening.
