Saint Leo, Fla. (September 24, 2010) -
Returning to Sunshine State Conference play, the Tars were defeated
in three straight sets (25-18, 25-18, 25-15) this Friday afternoon
by the Saint Leo Lions at The Bowman Center.
The Rollins Tars now fall to 8-4 overall and 1-2 in conference
play, while the Saint Leo Lions improve to 7-5 for the season and
3-1 in conference play.
For the first time this season, the Tars were held below a .100
hitting percentage as Rollins posted a .093 in three sets. Errors
would play a role in the Tars loss as Rollins posted 22 errors for
the evening. Sarah
Mendoza led the Tars with 12 kills, while Kiana
Parks and Jenny
Sherwood led the team with a .333 hitting percentage.
Dropping the first set 25-18, the Tars saw a change at the
libero position in the start of the second game as Christina
Carracino was named libero. Carracino finished the match with
a season-high 16 digs.
The Tars led only on two occasions, but were unable to continue
the momentum after tying the score at 17-all on a Sarah
Mendoza kill and taking the lead on a Camille
Indest kill.
After a two-game road stint, the Tars return to Warden Arena
tomorrow afternoon as they host the Tampa Spartans at 4 p.m. Live
