Norfolk State Defeats UMES in Straight Sets in “White Out” Match

NORFOLK, Va. - The first home Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) match-up for the Norfolk State volleyball team defeated Maryland Eastern Shore in straight sets on Friday at Gill Gymnasium.

The Spartans (7-8, 2-1 MEAC) thumped the Hawks of UMES (5-9, 0-3 MEAC) 3-0 for their sixth straight-set victory of the season (out of seven wins).

Norfolk State volleyball alumnae, Vanessa Faircloth '08/'15 and Noelle Eagles '15, returned to Gill Gymnasium, as coaches for Maryland Eastern Shore. Both Faircloth and Eagles were hired in 2023, with Faircloth as Head Coach and Eagles as assistant.

The Spartans recorded more kills (31), digs (37), service aces (11), and blocks (7) than the Hawks. Committing the fewest errors this season (3), Norfolk State hit on all cylinders against the Hawks.
