DUE WEST, S.C. – The Erskine College women's volleyball team (3-11, 2-5 CC) defeated Ferrum College (2-10, 0-8 CC) in straight sets at Belk Arena on Friday evening.

The Fleet had to battle through the opening set, but a strong serving run from Rylee Bath and a pair of timely kills from Ali Angell helped Erskine survive Set 1. After that, the Fleet came roaring to life offensively, hitting well over .300 the rest of the way, as the trio of Angell, Becca Yohe, and Ella Dietrich led the way.
