Senior Tiffany Mellette recorded double-figure kills for the fifth time in six matches as she recorded 11 kills and seven digs. Fellow senior Janae Mitchell added nine kills and five digs. But the Aggies took the lead just three times over three sets.

In the first set, the Eagles led 20-16 before the Aggies made a 4-0 run that included a Mitchell kill and an Amber Inman service ace. The Eagles reclaimed control of the set by scoring the next three points off Aggie errors.  Avaniki Campbell put the Eagles on the verge of victory with a kill, but the Aggies kept fighting up hill.

An Eagles attack error and a service ace by Kaneisha Winfield pulled the Aggies to within one at 24-23. Mellette tied the game with a solo block. But as the two teams sparred for the first set, the Aggies never claimed game point. Instead, N.C. Central's Belinda Behncke-Biney's kill and Mellette's attack error gave the Eagles a 29-27 first set victory.

The second set saw the Aggies fighting from behind again. Down 22-17, the Aggies closed to within two at 24-22 on an attack error by Sashalee Wallen. But Behncke-Biney placed a kill in the between several Aggie defenders for the 2-0 lead. The Eagles posted a .440 hitting percentage in the third set to put the Aggies away.

The Aggies recognized National Breast Care Awareness Month. The Aggies volleyball team wore pink T-shirts in warmups and Aggie fans wore pink ribbons to encourage people to receive mammograms and other tests that can diagnose breast cancer in its early stages.

The Aggies are back in action 6 p.m., Friday night when they face Norfolk State at Corbett Sports Center.
