The Tars went into their first game of the Sunshine State Conference (SSC) against Barry, without their star player Allison North who missed the game with an injury. It was a tough battle for the Tars, who could not manage to win a set during the entire match. They were swept three sets to nothing.
The team managed to rebound nicely, picking up a big a win against the Fighting Knights of Lynn University. Amy Barlow led the Tars, breaking a career record with twenty-six kills. Lynn came out strong in the first set of match and picked up a seven-two lead. They unleashed an offensive onslaught and the Rollins defense looked shaky. The Tars managed to fight back with their own assault, and tied the game at twenty-one a piece. The teams then traded points back and forth until the Knights were able to put away the first set by thirty to twenty-eight.
Rollins took the lead in the second set, and pretty much never looked back. The closest it got was two points, at twenty-five to twenty-three. The Tars closed out the second set at thirty to twenty-seven. The third set proved to hold another swing of momentum as the Knights easily closed out the set, taking a two-one lead. Needing to win the fourth set to avoid a loss, Rollins opened with an eleven-eight lead. The teams tied at seventeen but the Tars managed to beat out a victory at thirty to twenty-five. The final and decisive fifth set was close all the way. The teams tied at eight, until Rollins managed to pull away with strong offense. Whitney Jones had a huge serving ace that lead the Tars to a fourteen-eleven lead. They then went on to the final set, giving them a three-two lead. Allison North had twenty kills and Lindsey Crosby gave out sixty-four assists.
