Rutherford, N.J.- The Georgian Court University volleyball squad, participating in its third tri-match (first on the road) of the year, traveled to Felician College Saturday to take on the host-Golden Falcons and Southern Connecticut State University.

The Lions secured an always-important Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) victory with a 3-1 triumph (25-18, 25-22, 18-25, 25-16) over Felician, followed by a 3-2 non-conference defeat of the Owls (26-24, 25-18, 23-25, 23-25, 15-10).
