FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Nova Southeastern volleyball team (6-17, 2-9 SSC) will make the short trip to Lynn (11-12, 4-6 SSC) Saturday afternoon for its second match against the Fighting Knights this season. The Sharks won the first match Sept. 23, 3-0, at NSU Arena.

Escarpita has accounted for 27 kills in the same span with a hitting percentage of .316.
