Livingstone Survives Day 1 of CIAA Volleyball Tournament and Sets a New Record

 

Charlotte, NC – If history serves correct, Livingstone College accomplished a feat that has never been done since it started playing volleyball in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. After defeating Virginia State 3-2 in Brayboy Gymnasium, the Lady Blue Bears relocated to Grady Coles Center for its second game. Fayetteville State (21-10 overall) defeated Livingstone 3-0 (10-30, 18-30, 19-30). In a double elimination situation, the Lady Blue Bears rebounded to crush Saint Paul’s College 3-0 (30-20, 30-15, 30-12). Historical records have Livingstone playing in the annual tournament in 1997, but it does not have a record of the Lady Blue Bears playing past the first round. LC will play Bowie State University (14-13 overall) in the first game of the Semi-Finals round at 5:00 pm in the Grady Cole Center. more | FSU-LC Stats | SPC-LC Stats
