In the final match of the weekend, the Ducks defeated James Madison in four games led by Russell's 18 kills.
"Our chemistry was really there today and we improved from our first match of the season," Russell said. "Everything just seemed to come together today and our serving and passing, point scoring and play at the net was much better."
