Volleyball Rallies Late to Topple Memphis On the Road, 3-2

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--- The Alabama A&M University volleyball team never lost faith in Wednesday's non-conference match, prevailing by a 3-2 score over The University of Memphis. The hosting Tigers gained an early 2-1 advantage, but the Lady Bulldogs swung the momentum back in its own direction in the fourth and fifth sets to claim the victory.

With its nail-biting 3-2 (16-25, 25-18, 21-25, 25-17, 15-13) victory, Alabama A&M picked up its third non-conference match of the season and garnered some momentum heading into the Southern Illinois Invitational on Friday.
