Kerrville, Texas - The fifth-ranked Tiger volleyball team opened up Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play with a 3-0 road win at Schreiner (TX) University on Tuesday night.

MATCH SUMMARY

The third set was more competitive as Trinity worked in all of its players and Schreiner fought to the very end. The Tigers pulled ahead 18-14 before the Mountaineers scored three straight to close to within a point, but Trinity responded with four straight points of its own to take back the momentum and sweep the match.
