FAMU Records Eighth Straight Sweep

The Rattlers have swept all but one conference opponent this season.

HOUSTON | The Florida A&M volleyball team (17-5, 9-0 SWAC) collected yet another Southwestern Athletic Conference win Sunday (Oct. 20) in an exciting 3-0 decision at Texas Southern (28-26, 25-20, 25-15). 
 
Aside from their 3-1 victory over Jackson State, the Rattlers have swept every conference opponent this season.

  • Brooke Lynn Watts recorded her sixth double-double on the season on 18 kills  and 13 digs
  • Iyonnie Sanford added nine kills and three assisted blocks 
  • Three Rattlers finished with double-digit assists: Alexandra Koleva (15), Makenzie Taylor (12), London Hatch (11)
  • FAMU sits atop the SWAC standings as the only undefeated team.
  • The Rattlers have recorded 13 straight-set wins this year and earned their eighth straight versus TSU. 
  • FAMU is currently working a 10-match winning streak 
HOW IT HAPPENED 
SET ONE | FAMU's first 11 points were recorded on kills and Watts led the way with four. The thrilling back and forth set captured 15 ties, with the final one at 26-all. TSU controlled much of the second half, maintaining its lead until an attacking error gave the Rattlers a 27-26 advantage.
 
Farah Farooq and Sanford sealed the Rattlers' 23rd consecutive set win with a decisive block.
 
SET TWO | Things were tied at 6-6, before the Rattlers pulled away on a 5-2 run. Still, TSU remained within striking distance, eventually leading to another tie at 15-all. FAMU broke the stalemate with an 8-2 run – crowned by a kill from Autumn Hamilton – and never looked back. 
 
SET THREE | FAMU's rollercoaster start to the third set saw their early 5-0 advantage quickly shift into an 8-6 deficit, before turning around once more. The visitors concluded the set on a 10-2 run.  
 
Next Up: The Rattlers will take a break from SWAC action for a mid-week match (Oct. 23) at North Florida. The two met earlier this season (Sept. 4), with FAMU winning 3-2.
