WASHINGTON (November 2, 2018) --- Howard University volleyball remains undefeated in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference after sweeping the Delaware State Hornets, 3-0.
The Bison extend their winning streak to nine consecutive matches and are 8-0 in the MEAC.

Howard won the first set 25-13, then followed up with a 25-9 win in the second set. In the third and final set the Hornets brought their fiercest competition of the game, yet it was not enough to stop the Bison. The back and forth set proved entertaining with Howard ultimately coming out on top.    

Howard's .320 hitting percentage was instrumental in their win. Junior Kira Porter led the Bison with 11 kills, two digs and an ace. Jurnee Tipton had nine kills and 14 digs. Fola Wilson added 17 digs. Courtney Dalton, Marcelle Butler and Indira Dandridge were solid contributors to the win.

Howard is closing in on its regular season. With only two games left before hosting the MEAC Championships, Nov. 16-18 in Burr Gym, the Bison are working to stay undefeated in the conference. Their next game is against conference rival University of Maryland Eastern Shore at 3 p.m. on Sunday, November 4.
