The Charlotte 49ers women’s volleyball team defeated the FIU Golden Panthers 3-0 on Friday night, advancing to 17-5 on the season as well as 4-2 in conference play. The decisive victory marked Charlotte’s second consecutive conference win, maintaining the sixth-best conference record in Conference USA. Their 17-5 record is the third best in C-USA, trailing only WKU (20-2) and North Texas (18-2).
The first set was relatively close, 25-23, until the very end when a kill by Sydney Rowan ended any hope FIU had of picking it up. Despite the narrow victory of the first set, the second one was even more suspenseful.
