The Snead State Community College Lady Parsons Volleyball team wrapped up the last five matches with a 3-2 record, bringing their overall record to 17-11.

The Lady Parsons swept Gadsden State and Coastal South on Oct. 2 and Oct. 5, respectfully, and defeated Bishop State 3-1 on Oct. 7. Snead State suffered losses to Santa Fe College and Enterprise State on Oct. 4.

On Oct. 2, the Lady Parsons opened the week with a dominant 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 25-14) sweep over Gadsden State Community College. Jaleigh DeVine of Gadsden led the charge with 11 kills, while Tazi Harris of Guntersville added 7 kills. Setter Gracie Manley of Addison tallied 20 assists, facilitating the offensive attack.

However, Snead State struggled in back-to-back matches on Oct. 4. First, they faced Santa Fe College at Enterprise, Alabama, and fell in straight sets, 3-0. They then faced Enterprise State Community College, where they also dropped a 3-0 decision.

The Lady Parsons bounced back on Oct. 5, defeating Coastal Alabama-South 3-0. Harris and DeVine once again spearheaded the offense with 6 kills each, while Liberty Shadix of Cullman added 3 kills and 4 blocks. The team's efficient hitting, particularly Shadix's .125 hitting percentage, played a crucial role.
