Third time’s a charm for the SC State women’s volleyball team as they defeated North Carolina Central, 3-1, (25-17, 17-25, 25-17, 25-22) in its season finale in Dukes Gymnasium.  Tonight’s victory marks the first time in three tries this season that the Lady Bulldog defeated the Lady Eagles.

Avaniki Campbell led North Carolina Central (6-25) in kills with nine while Kristan Fields picked up 10 digs to lead the Lady Eagles defensively.
