Oct 25, 2016 by Staff Reports

Box Score RICHMOND, VA- The Chowan University volleyball team captured their sixth straight win on Sunday afternoon with a 3-0 victory over Virginia Union University.  The Hawks improve to 16-7 overall and 12-2 in CIAA play while the Lady Panthers slip to 11-9 on the year and 6-6 in league play.  Chowan remains undefeated in CIAA Northern Division play with a 7-0 record.  Virginia Union posts a 3-3 mark in divisional play. 

The Hawks opened the match with a 25-15 win and edged Virginia Union 25-22 in set two.  Set three featured a fierce battle between both teams, with Chowan outlasting the Lady Panthers for a 35-33 win.

The Hawks raced to a 4-0 lead at the start of the first set and never looked back.  Chowan led by three or more points for the duration of the opening set and secured the 25-15 win after a Virginia Union service error. 

Chowan and Virginia Union battled through set two, with neither team able to gain a full grip on the momentum.  The Hawks clung to a narrow 23-22 advantage late in set two before back-to-back kills by Spencer secured the 25-22 win for the Chowan Blue and White.   

Set three featured in all-out battle by both teams.  Chowan gained an early 10-5 advantage before Virginia Union stormed back to take an 11-10 lead.  From there, the Hawks and Lady Panthers fought through 15 ties before Chowan secured the win.  With the score knotted 33-33, a kill by Courtney O'Keefe and service ace propelled the Hawks to the 35-33 victory.
