Hollins University

After a six-year hiatus, the Hollins University volleyball team returned to the court in impressive fashion in 2010 under head coach Jason Kozak. In their first season back they compiled a 12-14 record, surprising opponents and spectators alike with their level of competitiveness. With only one senior on the roster this year, Hollins looks to return a strong core of players along with several new faces in 2011.

 

Highlights

Highlights from the 2010 season include a thrilling, come-from-behind, five-set victory over Salem College; an impressive three-set sweep over future conference rival Sweet Briar College; and a season sweep of Mary Baldwin College. Individually, Ally Reed '13 led the team in both kills (226) and digs (361); Shelby Mason '14 ranked second in both kills (159) and digs (248); India Richey '14 led the team in assists (444) and set a new record for assists in a season; and Simone Mendez ’12 led the team in aces (45) and was third in digs (220).

Hollins hosted the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) volleyball tournament this fall, with the top eight schools competing over two days. The team expects to make an immediate impact in the ODAC in 2011 upon becoming a fully competing member of the conference. The student-athletes and coaching staff are excited about the new challenges that await them.
