FLORENCE, S.C. - Precious Daley, Shannon Skryd and Vanja Przulj all logged double-doubles to help the UNC Pembroke volleyball team to a big 3-2 (13-25, 28-26, 25-21, 21-25, 15-8) victory against defending Conference Carolinas champions Francis Marion on Wednesday evening inside the Smith University Center.
