Their joy would later turn to disappointment despite having home court and crowd advantage. After splitting the first two sets, the #1 seeded Rockets came up short in the third, 25-20, falling after a hard-fought set to the #5 seed Sages. Unity finishes the season 33-4 under first-year head coach Erika Yerry. (PhotoNews Media/Clark Brooks)
