WINTER PARK, Fla. (September 4, 2015) - Nothing
explains a win better than teamwork as the Rollins volleyball team
opened up its 2015 campaign with a 3-0 (25-17, 25-22, 25-23) win
over the Southeastern Oklahoma State University Savage Storm in the
2015 Rollins Invitational. The Tars open the season with a mark of
1-0, while the Savage Storm opens their season with a mark of 0-2
after day one of the Invitational.
Sophomore Bri
Civiero led Rollins in kills with 12. The outside hitter from
Mount Dora, Fla. Added one assist, eight digs, and two blocks to
her afternoon.
Hitting on point were junior Kate
Stefanski and sophomore Kianna Dieudonne, who notched hitting
percentages of .500 and .615, respectively. Stefanski added a dig
and two blocks while Dieudonne tacked on four blocks to her
afternoon.
Freshman Rachel
Sawyer kicked off her collegiate career on a high note with
nine kills on the day, notching a service ace, nine digs, and one
block.
Setters April
Jackson and MaryEllen
Pole shared the limelight tallying 20 and 10 assists
respectively. Libero Rebecca
Wilson posted 14 digs while adding one kill on a service
ace.
Firing on all cylinders from the start, Rollins opened the frame
in charge and never relinquished the lead throughout the first set
that saw the score tied only once during the opening points. The
Tars cruised through set one to win the frame 25-17 as they hit
.486 as a team and holding the Savage Storm to a hitting percentage
of .267.
Southeastern Oklahoma fought back in the second set, posting a
hitting percentage of .238 while holding the Tars to .136. The
second stanza saw the score tied eight times with four lead changes
as both teams battled for the set. The Savage Storm pulled to
within one late in the set, with Rollins holding onto a slim 23-22
lead, but the Tars were able to capitalize on two quick errors by
SOSU to take the second set, 25-22.
The third set was much like the second, with two lead changes
and the score tied six times. Rollins hit .105 as a team, but held
the Savage Storm to a .000 hitting percentage en route to a 25-23
final set score. The Tars led by as much as three late in the game
with a score of 23-20, but once again the Savage Storm fought back
to pull to within one, 24-23. Unlike set two, the Tars ended the
final frame on a strong note, sealing the deal with a kill by
Civiero off of an assist by Jackson.
The season opening Rollins Invitational will continue for the
Tars as they take to the court in the final match of day one,
squaring off against the Northern State Wolves. Match time against
the Wolves is slated to begin around 7 p.m. Fans will be able to
