WINTER PARK, Fla. (Oct. 10, 2023) – The Rollins volleyball team recorded a 3-0 (25-15, 26-25, 25-12) sweep of visiting Florida Tech on Tuesday night, improving to 9-8 on the season and 4-5 in conference play. The loss pushes the Panthers to 5-12 overall, 1-8 in SSC matches.
 
Lana Gerard put down a match-leading 12 kills to go along with four service aces, while Emily Diaz chipped in with 11 kills and hit .533. Emma Begley had seven kills and five blocks, while Natalie Horsley led all players with 33 assists and Adriana Lopez picked up a match-high 17 digs.
