STORY - THE ESSENTIALS
MONTGOMERY, Al.--- The Asbury volleyball team (20-6, 15-1 CCS) won their 19th and 20th matches of the season to double their win amount for the second consecutive year on Saturday in Montgomery, Al., with victories over Huntingdon College (12-19, 8-7 CCS) and Piedmont University (6-17, 6-9 CCS). 

AU first faced the Huntingdon Hawks in a tough five-set battle, winning 3-2 with set scores of 13-25, 25-23, 18-25, 25-13, 15-12. Following this close match, the Eagles' momentum didn't falter as they swept the Piedmont Lions in straight sets (25-19, 25-17, 25-16).

The two wins complete Asbury's Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) Regular Season Championship at a 15-1 record. The Eagles will host the final two rounds of the CCS Touranment in Wilmore, Ky., on November 15 and 16.
