The lead: Two nights before opening up Old Dominion Athletic conference (ODAC) play, Hollins hosted Mid-Atlantic Christian University. Hollins earned a split in the tri-match over the weekend and the match with the Mustangs was the first of four for the Green and Gold this week.

The home team would not let the visiting Mustangs get into the match and used an 11-4 kill advantage in the second frame to cruise to a 2-0 advantage. Hollins would drop the first point of the third set, but quickly took control of the final, building a 23-9 advantage and closing out the match with a 25-11 win.
