After their win against Winston Salem State University, the Aggie Volleyball Team appears to be back in full affect! The Aggies had the pleasure of defeating the Rams in their own house 3-0.
Team members proved the Aggie Volleyball Team still had Aggie Pride as players and fans flooded the floor of Corbett Sports Center after the match dancing and cheering as if the outcome of the entire season never existed.
The victory against the Rams is only the Aggies second win of the season and was the first complete brush over an opponent since beating Garner-Webb 3-0 in 2008.
In a previous match against the Rams, the Aggies were conquered in a 3-1 victory by the Rams.
Top hitter on the Aggie team, Janae Mitchell definitely showed up with vengeance on her mind and pride in her heart as she finished with 13 kills and 9 digs.
Sophomore Bree Dotstry added eight kills, just one attack error and two blocks, while junior setter Amber Inman posted 32 assists, eight digs and four service aces.
The Aggies posted a 9-0 run in the second set to take 23-11 lead.
The Rams closed the set with a ball handling and attack error to give the Aggies the set. Senior Tiffany Mellette of the Aggies, sparked a 6-0 kill and fueled the run with two service aces to earn the Aggies their second win over the Rams this season.
Though the season has not completely gone in the Aggies favor, the team proved they still could come alive and manage to come out on top.
The Aggies head to Orangeburg, S.C., to face S.C. State on Sunday, and return to Corbett Sports Center Tuesday night at 6p.m. to face Elon University on what will be Senior Night for Mellette, Mitchell and Stacey Malone.
