Coach Lisa Predaina’s Bucs took an early lead in the first set against North Middlesex and held off the Patriots, 25-19.
The second set was a classic, with neither team able to move ahead by more than a point from an 8-8 score until North Middlesex grabbed a 23-20 advantage. After a timeout, Bedford fought back to tie and eventually won by the requisite two, 27-25.
The Patriots continued to battle for much of the third game, and at one point Bedford trailed 10-9. Then the visitors ran out of gas. Bedford led by as many as 10 en route to a 25-16 final to clinch the best-of-five.
