After a rugged five-set battle to get past visiting West Alabama on Friday evening, the Lee volleyball team returned to the Walker Arena sport court on Saturday afternoon and breezed past the visitors from Mississippi College (Clinton, Miss.) in three sets (25-13, 25-10, 25-16).
 
Friday's win helped coach Andrea Hudson reach another milestone (her 800^th win). The veteran coach admitted she was a little surprised with the sharpness of her club on Saturday. "I was a little concerned about our girls after the hard-fought win over West Alabama, but we responded and had several players step up. I'm encouraged by the depth we showed in today's win."
