Riding the momentum of a six-game winning streak and following up on a huge win over the top-ranked Shorter Hawks, the Blazer volleyball squad of Head Coach Mike Swan are primed and ready to make a strong push toward the top of the GSC standings in the final weeks of the 2014 regular season! But first, the red and black will turn their attention to a series of non-conference matchups this week, beginning with the Rollins Tars. Rollins, an NCAA South Region opponent out of the Sunshine State Conference, enters Tuesdays contest with a 11-6 overall record and third place ranking in a conference that includes the American Volleyball Coaches Associations No. 1 ranked Tampa Spartans. The Blazers, meanwhile, are 12-3 overall and 9-3 in the league and are nipping at the heels of the GSCs second-place West Florida Argonauts, who currently hold the No. 21 position in the AVCA national rankings. Standing atop the league are the Shorter Hawks, who suffered their first conference loss of the season to VSU on Saturday. Valdosta State will put their perfect 7-0 home record on the line against Rollins this week and will be counting on the support of Blazer Nation! Don’t miss this big South Region showdown on Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. in The Complex!
