       PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas | Florida A&M volleyball continued its magical start in Southwestern Athletic Conference play with a 3-0 win over Prairie View A&M (25-14, 25-18, 25-18) on Friday (Oct. 18). In the decision, the Rattlers improved to 8-0 in conference competition with seven consecutive sweeps.

GAME NOTES

SET ONE | The Rattlers took the first three points of the set and cruised to a 20-11 advantage. They led the set from start to finish.
