The Tars improved to 7-2 on the season with the win

WINTER PARK, Fla. (Sept. 20, 2024) – The Rollins volleyball team opened the 2024 home slate with a 3-1 win over Millersville on Friday night, 27-25, 21-25, 25-13, 25-21, to kick off the Rollins College Invitational.
 
Lana Gerard led all players with 17 kills and added 12 digs for a double-double, while Jadyn Troutman contributed 11 kills and a match-high seven blocks (three solo). Natalie Horsley racked up a match-leading 44 assists and Jenna Garza led all players with 18 digs.
