Niners drop emotional final regular season game to FAU

It was an emotional day at the Halton Arena on Nov. 11 as three seniors (Janell Sparks, Tatyana Thomas, Kaylyn Torain) played in their final home game. The Niners (19-11, 6-8) took on the Florida Atlantic Owls (18-8, 9-5) in a morning match to end the regular season.

Charlotte constantly gave up early leads to FAU which led to a 3-0 sweep in sets. The first set proved to be the most competitive as their were 17 ties and four lead changes. FAU eventually pulled out the first set with a score of 25-23.

Although this match did not go the way Coach Karen Weatherington had hoped, she had some strong words of praise for her seniors.
