(0-16, 0-4 MEAC)Â remains winless after the loss.

The Lady Bison would hit their stride after that point, outscoring NSU 20-11 to take set one and never trailing in set two while leading by as many as 10 points.
Norfolk tried to rally in the third set but Howard outscored the Spartans 16-7 after four ties and three lead changes led to a 9-9 deadlock.
