The St. Lawrence University volleyball team didn't drop a single set at Saturday's SUNY Poly Triad. They beat Keuka in straight sets to kick the day off, then followed it up with a victory over host SUNY Poly, both 3-0.

They now enter their final weekend of the season with a record of 15-11.

"Today was a good bounce-back day," said Saints head coach Shelly Roiger. "The team did a great job of minimizing hitting errors and forced the opponents to make plays throughout the day.  They had great energy throughout the day and I'm really proud of how they responded to a tough loss from Friday night."
