Tallahassee, Fla. -- The Bethune-Cookman volleyball team enjoyed a perfect Sunday afternoon, winning back-to-back SWAC Conference games to improve their conference record to 3-2.
 
Bethune-Cookman (3-13, 3-2 SWAC) began the day with a strong win over Alcorn State (2-15, 1-4 SWAC) in four sets.
 
The Wildcats took the first two sets of the afternoon, 25-19 and 25-20, respectively. Alcorn took the third set, but B-CU held on to take the contest.
 
Victoria Samedy led the Wildcats with eight kills. Jasmine Moore added seven of her own. The Wildcats totaled seven blocks in the game: seven from Niara Hightower as well as three each for Malina Spencer and Kytal Price.
 
In the second game, against Southern University (3-9, 2-4 SWAC) the Wildcats began by taking a hard-fought, 26-24 win in a set where neither team ever led by more than three. B-CU struggled a bit in the second set but stormed back to take the final two for the victory.
 
Moore finished her second game of the day with 16 kills, including three aces. Jacynta Williams compiled 24 digs. Alleah Dallas, the SWAC's leader in blocks per set, finished with five for the game.
 
Bethune-Cookman head coach Brittany Williams was pleased with her team's effort on Sunday.
 
"These were great all-around team wins," Williams said. "We are still working out a few adjustments here and there but it feels good to get these wins under our belt. Several players stepped up in key positions when we needed it and that made a huge difference."
 
The Wildcats will hope to build on Sunday's momentum when they return to action for one more game in Tallahassee, this time against Prairie View A&M. The game is slated to begin Monday at 9 a.m.
