VALDOSTA, Ga. - Valdosta State made short work of Fort Valley State Friday night. On a night when VSU Volleyball celebrated Halloween and welcomed all kinds of costumes, the Lady Blazers looked frightening with the 25-9, 25-9, 25-14 win to move to 15-10 on the season.

After giving up the first point of the match, the Lady Blazers stormed back to score 12 unanswered points behind 11 serves from Ruthie King. After that, the rout was on.
