MIAMI – The FIU volleyball program rallied back in dramatic fashion to take down Jacksonville State in a five-set Halloween thriller on Friday evening from the Ocean Bank Convocation Center.
FIU (15-10, 9-2 CUSA) dropped the first two sets (25-23, 25-17) and faced match point in the third before storming back to win 28-26, dominating set four 25-8, and sealing the comeback with a 15-13 victory in the decisive fifth set. The win marked the Panthers' first five-set victory of the season.
The triumph also secured FIU's ninth win in Conference USA play and seventh straight conference victory—the longest conference win streak in program history.
