WILSON, N.C. – The Erskine College men's volleyball team (10-14, 6-8 CC) defeated Barton College (12-15, 6-8 CC) in straight sets at Wilson Gymnasium on Saturday as the Fleet ended the regular season with three straight road victories.

The Fleet were led by Kellen Prysmiki (12 kills) and Tyler Kuehl (8 kills, 7 blocks) in a dominant redemption win over the Bulldogs to finish the regular season, but results elsewhere in Conference Carolinas meant Erskine received the short end of tiebreaker rule and narrowly miss out on next week's conference tournament.
