Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 ETTRICK, Va.- The Virginia State University Trojan volleyball team did a quick clean up on September 3 with two 3-set sweeps for their season opener. The tournament collaboration of Virginia State and Virginia Union played  season opener host to St. Augustine's, Pfeiffer and Methodist.
