BREWTON, Ala. — The Pearl River volleyball bounced back after a tough loss last night by sweeping Southern Union State 3-0 (25-13, 25-19, 25-8) and Coastal Alabama East 3-0 (25-16, 25-20, 28-26). The victories pushed PRCC to the 20-win mark for the second consecutive season.

“20 wins is a great accomplishment for a team that is so full of youth,” head coach Haley Chatham said. “We were able to carry over the competition from Friday night into two well-played matches today. They are learning to be road warriors and I’m so proud of them and all they give this program.”
