ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – The visiting UNC Pembroke volleyball team was held to just 24 kills as Flagler boasted a .304 hitting percentage in the game with 46 kills to take the 3-0 Peach Belt Conference win over the Braves on Friday evening in Flagler Gymnasium.

The Braves (3-12, 0-3 PBC) fell in their second-consecutive contest, while Flagler (8-2, 1-0) posted its eighth win the last nine games. The set scores were 25-17, 25-19, 25-17.

The Black and Gold collected five team blocks as Pridgen and Brittani Jefferson both had a solo block and one block assist.

In set one, UNCP controlled a 10-8 lead following a serving error, but with a tied score at the 13-13 mark, the Saints used a 12-4 run and a .324 hitting percentage to take the lead. An evenly paced second set tied up the game at 7-7, but a seven-point run gave the Saints the advantage the Braves were unable to overcome.
