SEWANEE, Tenn. (September 2, 2011) – The Sewanee Tigers opened the 2011 volleyball season with a pair of impressive victories today at Juhan Gymnasium. The Tigers picked up straight set wins over Fisk University and Andrew College.
“Today was a great start to our 2011 season,” according to Sewanee head coach Jessica Cortese. “I saw a lot of solid play from the upperclassmen as well as the freshman. We got some big points due to hustle plays on defense, which was encouraging for a group with so many new faces. Overall, I was very pleased with the effort and energy the entire team put forth. They worked hard in preseason and deserved to put two wins in the record books.”
In the first match of the day Sewanee defeated Fisk University 3-0 (25-7, 25-23, 25-10).
