The Lead: Hollins was back in the van on Saturday morning with a second trip to Lynchburg this weekend. The Green and Gold fell to Randolph in a close match Friday night and had to be back in the court this morning against a University of Lynchburg team that sits near the top of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) standings. The Hornets would control play throughout the match winning in straight sets thanks in part to a 43-18 advantage at the net.
