COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Wildcats took care of their Sunday business and can check off two season goals. Fort Valley State completed its perfect Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's volleyball schedule with a 3-0 sweep at Benedict College and claimed its first regular season title!

The Wildcats ran off the final five points of the opening set and started off the day right when Chey Cooper killed the final point, 25-12. In a tighter second set, Isaiah Fedd ended it with a kill and 25-23 final. After Benedict held an early 6-4 third set lead, FVSU came back and reversed the momentum and ended the match on taking eight of the final nine points for the 25-14 score.

For the first time in the three-year program existence, the Wildcats are SIAC regular season champions! FVSU finished its regular season with a record-win total at 15-8 and completed the perfect SIAC mark of 10-0. In fact, FVSU won 30 of 31 sets played and dropped only the second set on Friday night at Edward Waters stopping it from 10 match sweeps. Taking away the opening California trip against Pepperdine, UCLA and USC, FVSU won 15 of the 20 matches or a .750 win percentage.
