In the 3-1 win over Quincy, Romano had 11 digs and two blocks. He also led the team in assists with 41 along with adding four kills.
The next night Romano notched a match-high 19 digs along with two blocks in the 3-2 victory over the Lions. The setter also tallied 48 assists, three kills and one service ace.
