BOWIE, MD (October 17, 2019)- The VSU Trojans Volleyball team secured another CIAA divisional win after defeating the Bulldogs of Bowie State University on the road in a 3- set (25-20, 25-8, 25-19) sweep.

Trailing 16-12, Coach Walker called the Trojans 2nd timeout of the set to redirect the team's momentum. VSU rallied back with an 8-0 run to take the lead and eventually the 25-19 set 3 win.
