FAU Volleyball wins FAU Invitational
In the second day of the FAU Invitational, the women of FAU Volleyball beat the Stetson Hatters to secure the first place trophy.
Volleyball is a set of games. A game is won once a team reaches 25 points (a team must win by at least two points). Winning three games wins a match.
FAU won their match with Stetson three games to one on Saturday afternoon, by scores of 25-21 (twice), and 25-13. The team does not return to their home court until early October — they’ll be traveling all over the country playing other Conference USA programs.
That extended road trip starts in next week in Jacksonville, Fla. where the Owls will participate in the Jacksonville Marriott Classic.
