Sinclair (4-9/1-2) Volleyball splits weekend OCCAC matches

Friday night the Tartan Pride picked up OCCAC win number 1 as they traveled to Elyria, Ohio to take on Lorain Co. C.C. The host team took advantage of Sinclair's long bus ride as they quickly put away game one 17-25. That was the only ray of light for the host team as the Sinclair netters went on to completely dominate the next three games and finish off leg one of the Friday/Saturday road trip with a 3-1 victory.

For the second time this week, Sinclair was looking across the net at another ranked opponent. On Wednesday the Pride put up a good fight in their home opener against the number 6 th ranked team in this week's poll – Columbus State.

Playing its 12 th road match to start the season, the Tartan Pride had little in the tank to battle the very powerful Owens Express losing 0-3. The growing pains continue as the Pride netters are young and playing a very strong schedule early.
