SAINT LEO, Fla. (Sept. 22, 2023) – The Rollins volleyball team dropped a conference match on Friday night at Saint Leo, falling 3-0 (25-20, 25-18, 25-11). Rollins now stands at 6-5 on the year and 1-2 in SSC matches, while Saint Leo goes to 7-2 and 2-1 in conference play.
 
Emma Begley led the Tars with eight kills while Jadyn Troutman, Lana Gerard, and Emily Diaz each chipped in with six kills, with Gerard adding seven digs and Diaz posting six digs. Natalie Horsley tallied a team-high 22 assists to go along with seven digs and Adriana Lopez picked up a team-leading 10 digs.
