MOBILE, Ala. - The University of South Alabama volleyball team made history this fall with a program-record nine consecutive Sun Belt Conference wins to open league play. The Jaguars took a bit of misfortune just before the conference season started and turned it into opportunity that helped kick-start its historic run.
USA began the season at an even 4-4 through its first eight games, and was scheduled to compete in Miami at the FIU Invitational as its final tune-up before entering SBC play. But devastation brought on by Hurricane Irma forced the cancellation of the tournament; however, that wasn't unfamiliar territory for the Jaguars and head coach Amy Hendrichovsky this year.
