AKRON, Ohio — The University of Akron women's volleyball team opened spring exhibition play with two wins on Saturday.

At Youngstown State's Beeghly Center, the Zips split two sets with Cleveland State, 25-23, 16-25. Akron swept Robert Morris in straight sets, 25-21, 25-19. In the finale of the round-robin tourney, UA beat the host Penguins, 25-19, 22-25, 25-20.

No formal statistics were kept.

"It was great to be in a competitive setting for the first time since November," head coach Tom Hanna said. "You can certainly see the progress we've made on our offensive tempo to the pins, which has been a major focal point for us this spring. In broad strokes we did a pretty good job competing. There are certainly some things we can work on before taking on Cleveland State on Friday night."

Spring exhibition play continues on Friday, April 13, as Akron will play Cleveland State at the Eastside Volleyball Club at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
