Norfolk State shook off some early cobwebs and never looked back in defeating Savannah State, 3-0, Monday evening at Joseph Echols Hall for the team's second win in a row.

A slow start to the first set for NSU quickly turned around into a 25-10 win for the Spartans, as NSU went on to take the next two sets, 25-13, 25-20.

The win, NSU's second in a row, improved the team's record to 7-14 on the season, while Savannah State saw its record fall to 2-18 with their 10th-straight loss.
