The Rollins soccer teams were not the only college athletes to experience the joy of victory last weekend. In fact, the agony of defeat was conspicuously absent from the Tar's games last week, and our volleyball squad was no small part of that. The Tars swept the St. Mary Invitational in San Antonio Texas, going undefeated last Friday and Saturday. Rollins dominated the competition on Friday, winning every game. They beat both the Colorado Mines and Valdosta State 3-0.
This was also true for their game against Alaska Anchorage on Saturday. Their game against the tournament's host, St. Mary's offered a lot more suspense, but Rollins managed to break to break a 2-2 tie to pull ahead for the win and the tournament championship. Flavia Silveira helped provided excellent defense for the Tars, with an average of 16.25 digs per game. Stephanie Nicols and Lorena Orlandini illustrated the sheer intensity and power of the Tar's offense, combining to produce ninety kills for Rollins during the tournament.
Rollin's own Lacey Malarky was named tournament MVP in honor of the stunning number of assists, in total 149, that she racked up over the weekend. In addition, Orlandini was chosen, along with her teammate Christina Reinders, to play on the St. Mary's Invitational All-Tournament Team.
