The FAMU volleyball team clinched the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Southern Division title by blanking the Bethune-Cookman Lady Wildcats (12-18,6-4 MEAC) 3-0.

The Lady Rattlers (11-12, 9-1 MEAC) won 25-23, 25-17 and 25-16. After a slow start, FAMU got on a roll and fended off the resurgent Lady Wilcats. Three Lady Rattlers finished with double digit kills. Katherine Huanec finished with 15, Maria Ceccarelli carded 11 and Pamela Barrera scored 10. As a team, FAMU hit .323 on the day, on 44-for-93 attempts.

"We started a little bit tense," Coach Tony Trifonov said. "It's a rivalry game so it's always like that. Every sport we play Bethune-Cookman in it's like that."

The Lady Rattlers, will head into the MEAC tournament with the number one seed in the Southern division.

FAMU's netters are ready to regain the MEAC crown.

"We are showing in practice that we're getting better," Barrera said. "We need to bring that championship back home where it belongs. We're happy and excited about the challenge."
