DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. ? The Embry-Riddle Eagles volleyball team (16-1, 6-1 conf.) picked up the 16th win of the 2008 season, topping the Warner Southern Royals (5-12, 2-5 conf.) in a conference match, 3-0 (25-13, 25-15, 25-23).

For the first time in school history, the Eagles volleyball team extended their record to 16-1, the most wins a team has had before suffering their second loss. This passes the 1997 team's record of 15-1 through the first sixteen games before suffering their second loss to Nova Southeastern on October 3. That team went on to have a 33-6 overall record and finished tied for second in conference play with a record of 13-3.

The Eagles 16th win was aided largely by freshman Abby Hall and senior Jenni Nelsen who combined for 29 of the team's 47 kills and each marked the block assists on the day. Hall marked her 13th double double of the season with 17 kills and 12 digs, this game also ended her 12-match aces streak that extended from Aug. 30 through Oct. 1, accumulating 37 aces in that span. Alana Martinez had eight kills and two aces in the match.

Marissa Gonzales shared duties as the setter with Kristen Hassett, the two had all but four of the team's 45 assists in the match, Gonzales marking 29 and Hassett had 12.

The win over WSC ends ERAU's six-game home-stand, where the Eagles went 6-0 including a huge conference win over Webber International that gave them a share of the conference lead.

The Blue and Gold will suit up again on Friday, Oct. 10 as they travel to Savannah, Ga. to play Savannah College of Art & Design at 7 p.m.
