Rollins volleyball continues to prove itself as a team that is very hard to beat. The Tars won three out of four matches at the Armstrong Atlantic Tournament in Savannah, Georgia. The Tars went undefeated on Friday the 8th, defeating both University of North Carolina Pembroke and Presbetaryian by a score of 3-1. Both matches saw the Tars fall behind early, losing the first game, and then rallying to win the next three to seal the victory. Rollins maintained an aggressive offense, supported by setter Lacy Malarky. Malarky had 78 assists over both matches. Junior Kim Cline led the Tars defense with 16 digs in the first match and 34 more in the second.
The next morning, on Saturday the 9th, the Tars again triumphed after losing the initial game, defeating University of South Carolina Upstate 3-1. Rollins had a fierce battle on their hands during the next two games, both of which they won by only two points. Thanks to some exceptional play they had more breathing room in the third game, which they won 30-23. Later that day Rollins faced Frances Marion, their last opponent of the weekend. The Tars lost the first two games, but refused to concede the match that easily. They battled back, winning the next two games with the help of impressive play by freshman Brittany Daiger on offense and senior Flavia Silveira on defense. Rollins ended up losing the match in a tense fifth game, only the second loss of the season.
Rollins begins Sunshine State Conference play on Saturday the 15th against Barry University and Sunday the 16th against Nova Southeastern. Both events are home games that begin at 7 p.m.
