The volleyball team (9-5, 1-0) opened Sun Belt Conference play with a 3-1 win over the University of Louisiana Monroe on Friday at College Park Center.
Senior middle blocker Madison Hill returned to the lineup after a week on the sideline with a concussion, she said. Playing in her usual position in the center along the net, Hill notched a standout 0.600 hitting average and match-high 17 kills, along with senior outside hitter Kylie Jedlicka.
Hill said her time on the sideline gave her a different perspective on the game, allowing her to see what worked and what didn’t for her to slot back in naturally.
