The weekend match clinched the MEAC Southern Division title for Bethune-Cookman (11-15, 8-0 in MEAC), ending several streaks in the process. FAMU will head to the MEAC Tournament, Nov. 20-22 as the number two seed from the Southern Division.
FAMU (6-19, 6-2 in MEAC) had dominated the Southern
Division, winning every title since the league went to the divisional format in
the 1990s.
Sunday’s loss was FAMU’s first home conference loss since
the early 1990s, and the first-ever in the Head Coach Tony Trifonov Era.
The MEAC volleyball tournament will take place November
20-22 at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Maryland.
