ROANOKE, Va. – The Guilford College volleyball team (17-8, 6-5 ODAC) picked up two victories Saturday at the Hollins University Tri-Match, sweeping the host Hollins (9-15, 0-10 ODAC), (25-20, 25-15, 25-12) before defeating Johnson & Wales (6-20, 1-2 C2C) in four sets, 25-15, 19-25, 25-10, 25-15. The day was highlighted by senior Natalie Moore (Talbott, Tenn.), who recorded her 1,000th career kill during the third set against Hollins, becoming just the fourth player in program history to achieve the milestone.
