HILLSBOROUOGH, Fla. –

Friday during the first day of the Hillsborough Invitational.
The 13th-ranked Lady Dragons

defeated State College of Florida 25-16, 25-16, 25-17 and then turned around
to sweep St. Petersburg College 25-13, 25-10, 25-12.

two more to come on Saturday. Hutchinson will play Gulf Coast Community
College and get a rematch with No. 10 Hillsborough on Saturday. HCC defeated
Hillsborough in five sets on Thursday night.
“Our serving was good and
aggressive,” HCC head coach Ronda Shirley said. “The setters did a good job
of delivering the ball to the hitters. We were strong at the net and made
our opponents have some mental errors. We were strong at the net.”
State College of Florida

St. Petersburg recap
(BOXSCORE)

season-high .400 as a team with 10 blocks against St. Petersburg.
HCC got strong performances
from the left side with Logato and sophomore Karol Marins, who combined for
19 kills against St. Petersburg.
“Logato and Marins are doing
a good job on the left side,” Shirley said. “They are taking was pressure
off of the middles. Marins is more confident and is trusting her swing more.
Logato brings a spark and a flow to the team. Taking off the libero shirt
allows Logato to be a threat all over the court.”

kills on .625 hitting with four ace serves and one block. Marins had eight
kills on .538 hitting with two blocks.
Ohl had another outstanding
game, getting several back-row kills. She finished with eight kills overall,
