Camryn Bevins served up five straight points on Monday to help the Ranger College women's volleyball team get off to a quick start against Southwestern Christian College. The rest, as they say, was all downhill.

Ranger swept the best-of-five series 25-12, 25-13 and 25-9.

After SWCC had taken a quick lead in Game 1, Bevins came off the bench to begin the rout. The sophomore reeled off five straight service points and staked RC to a 5-1 advantage.

Ranger never looked back from there.
