Small and Roe led Georgia Southern to a 2-0 start in Southern Conference action this past weekend, defeating both Wofford and Furman, 3-2.
Small hit .491 in the two matches -- .632 against Wofford and .412 against Furman. The Charlotte, N.C., native, committed no errors on 19 attempts with 12 kills against the Terriers. The middle hitter accumulated 16 kills on 34 attempts and only two errors against the Paladins. The 16 kills against Furman marked a season-high.

Roe continued her strong defensive play against the SoCon foes. The Campbell, Calif., libero posted 26 digs in both five-set matches to total 52 in 10 games for an average of 5.20 per set. Her 52 digs led the team in the back court and her 26 digs each marked a season- and career-high for the libero. Her previous season-high was 22 digs against Miami (FL).
