ERIE, Pa. – The Fayetteville State University volleyball team saw its postseason run come to an end Thursday evening, falling to Gannon University in straight sets (16-25, 17-25, 23-25) in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Quarterfinal at the Highmark Events Center.
The loss concludes a remarkable season for the Broncos, who finish 21-6 overall after capturing the CIAA Championship and earning their spot in the NCAA Tournament. Senior outside hitter Symone Morris led Fayetteville State with 13 kills, while Jasmine Culp paced the defense with 11 digs. Setter Giovanna Teixeira directed the offense with 28 assists, and Tione Freeman added two service aces.
In the opening set, Fayetteville State battled early, tying the score six times before Gannon pulled away for a 25-16 win. The Broncos never led in the second frame and fell 25-17 as the Golden Knights extended their advantage. Fayetteville State fought to extend the match in a tightly contested third set that featured 11 ties and six lead changes, but Gannon prevailed 25-23 to secure the sweep.
Morris led the offensive effort with 13 kills, followed by Ramona Pulu with nine and Chantiya Johnson with six. Culp anchored the defense with 11 digs, while Teixeira added nine digs to go along with her 28 assists. Johnson also led the team at the net with three blocks.
Head Coach Chynna Hunt, in her second season leading the Broncos, reflected on the team’s effort and growth:
“I’m incredibly proud of this group and what they accomplished. We fought hard against a very talented Gannon team and showed the resilience that defined our season. Winning the CIAA and competing on the national stage is a testament to the hard work and commitment of our players. This experience will only make us stronger moving forward.”
Despite the setback, Fayetteville State closes the year as CIAA champions and NCAA qualifiers, continuing to elevate the program’s national profile.
