DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Embry-Riddle volleyball team earned its second consecutive 3-0 win on Saturday, defeating the visiting Florida Southern Moccasins 26-24, 25-14, 25-11. The loss drops FSC to 6-18 overall and 2-12 in conference play, while the Eagles improve to 17-3 and 10-3 in SSC action. This marks the first time since joining the Sunshine State Conference in 2015 that ERAU has won 10 conference matches in a season, eclipsing last year's conference win total of nine with seven SSC contests still yet to be played this year.
 
The Eagles were led by Melanie Canfield's 10 kills and four blocks, with Amelia Hartnett and Jordan Schumacher each chipping in with eight kills. Schumacher also picked up 12 digs and had a match-best four service aces, while Camden Bitter added 13 digs and Olivia Roa led all players with 15 digs. Alyssa Rudd tallied 34 assists, moving past Brooke Geiger (2000-03) to take over fourth place on the all-time career assists leaderboard in program history with 3,410 assists in her career.
 
ERAU jumped out to a 6-1 lead early, but the Mocs rallied with eight straight points coming out of a timeout to take a 9-6 lead. Embry-Riddle drew even at 10-10, but FSC quickly stretched the lead to 17-11. With the Mocs leading 22-16, ERAU Head Coach Joslynn Gallop called timeout; from that point the Blue and Gold won 10 of final 12 points of the set to win it 26-24.
 
The roles were reversed early in the second set, as FSC took an early 4-1 lead only to see Embry-Riddle storm back with a 7-1 run to move ahead, 8-5. The Mocs briefly regained the lead at 11-10, but back-to-back service aces from Canfield pushed the Blue and Gold to a 13-11 lead, which it would not relinquish. The Eagles went on a roll, winning the last seven points and 15 of the last 18 points in the set, cruising to a 25-14 win.
 
Set three saw ERAU rattle off five straight points to turn a 5-5 set into a comfortable 10-5 lead. From there, the Eagles continued to pull away, only allowing the Mocs to score one point on their own serve for the rest of the match. Jenna Bishop closed the door with her third kill of the match to clinch the set, 25-11.
 
The Eagles will wrap up this three-match homestand on Tuesday night when they host Rollins. First serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.
