Saints Reaches 20-Win Milestone with Victory Over Georgia College

ST. AUGUSTINE – The Flagler College volleyball team hosted Georgia College & State University on Saturday afternoon at the Flagler Gymnasium for a Peach Belt Conference matchup.

QUOTES FROM COACH  
"At this stage of the season, winning becomes more difficult with each contest. They've seen us and we've seen them. Georgia College is no exception. They did a nice job of slowing down our offensive attack and taking advantage of a few too many errors on our part. We had to make a couple adjustments and work through a few things before we were able to finally take control of the match. It eventually came down to the basics – the things we work on in practice every single day." Jeff Reynolds commented.
"I'm proud of our team for working through this match and doing what was necessary to get the win. We will now have a short turnaround in order to get ready to play Florida Tech on Tuesday evening." Reynolds ended.
