The (rv) Keiser Seahawks volleyball team returns to home court for the first time since September 11. The Seahawks will take on the Gyrenes of Ave Maria Wednesday night; game time is scheduled for 7:00 PM. On Saturday, the Seahawks will travel to Temple Terrace, Fla., for a doubleheader against Edward Waters and Florida College, scheduled for 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM.
This past weekend on the road, the Seahawks went 2-1, defeating Trinity Baptist in six straight sets and falling to Southeastern in four. The Seahawks are looking to bounce back after dropping to 1-3 in Sun Conference play. Despite the setback, junior outside hitter Mackenzie Pryor was named the Sun Conference Attacker of the Week for the fifth time this season after recording 47 kills and hitting .308. Pryor achieved two double-doubles over the three matches. Additionally, freshman Amie Molina made her first career start and totaled 61 assists across the three matches.
