FAMU volleyball’s return to Tallahassee provided the team with a much-needed boost-in-the-arm. The Lady Rattlers picked up two Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) victories before enthusiastic crowds in the Alfred Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center and Teaching Gymnasium.FAMU (3-1 MEAC, 3-11) posted a 3-0 win North Carolina A&T on Sunday.
“It feels great,” Coach Tony Trifnov said. “I thought at the beginning of the match we played a lot more consistently. We switched setters midway through the season and we were eager to find out what lineup would work better for us.”
The weekend victory was followed by another big 3-0 win against North Carolina Central on Monday.
The two recent MEAC wins follow a long road trip during which the team faced a tough out-of-conference schedule. FAMU is seeking its first MEAC title since it swept the conference championships between 2000 and 2009.
