Senior Allison Condino (Fitchburg, Mass.) added 15 set assists in the two outings Sunday for the Buccaneers, who last night ended a 55-match winless streak that dated back to October 17, 2006 with an opening round 3-0 victory over New York Maritime behind eight kills each from Presutti, Marino and sophomore Alex Burgess-Chrost (Leominster, Mass.).
