FORT MYERS, Fla. – Santa Fe College Volleyball had a tough test in the very first road match of the 2022 season when it traveled to face No.1 Florida Southwestern State College in Suncoast Conference action.
Although SF had moments of quality play, the Bucs were able to remain unbeaten at 10-0 with a sweep inside Suncoast Credit Union Arena, 25-20, 25-10, 25-22.
The Saints saved two match points in Set 3 to force an FSW timeout, but the hosts earned the final kill to pick up the victory.
