DUE WEST, SC - The Fleet Women's Volleyball team cruised past the Valkyries of Converse College in only one hour and five minutes tonight in Belk Arena, 3-0. The win stretches their winning streak to 9 games and also make the 6 straight game that they have won in straight sets.  

Erskine started the match strong, and never looked back.  They would coast past the Valkyries in the first two sets, 25-11, including hitting an impressive .600 in the 1st set.  The Fleet would use several runs, some as large as 8-0, to dominate early.  The third set was much more competitive, 25-19.  The circumstances did allow Coach Vahjen to get all 17 players some experience on the floor in front of a large crowd of parents and students.
