WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Palm Beach Atlantic volleyball team swept Rollins 25-17, 25-19, 25-15 on Friday at Rubin Arena. 

The Sailfish delivered a dominant performance with a .340 hitting percentage and recorded eight service aces. The home team also tallied 47 digs, effectively stifling the Tars' offensive efforts, holding RC to a .128.

Maggie Patterson led the defensive effort with 15 digs over three sets as libero. Grace Reynolds directed the offense effectively, recording 38 assists, seven digs and two kills.

Sydney Corbett added seven kills, hitting .316. Harper Stokes tallied five kills and a pair of blocks, hitting .625.

"Another incredible match from Grace," PBA head coach Jeff Huebner said. "She did a great job of setting players open, and our team was awesome attacking. While we didn't score as many blocks as we might normally, we did a great job slowing the ball down and getting into our transition offense the whole match. Maggie continues to get better as a defender each match, with 15 digs in 3 sets. Looking forward to having everyone back in Rubin tomorrow at 4:00 vs. Eckerd!"
