Fayetteville State University's volleyball team hits the road this weekend for the Valkyries Invitational, hosted by Converse University in Spartanburg, SC. The Broncos will face three strong opponents over two days, including a highly anticipated match against Lynn University, the reigning NCAA Division II National Champions.

The tournament follows a strong showing by Fayetteville State at the North Greenville Tournament last weekend, where the Broncos earned early-season recognition for standout individual performances. Outside hitter Symone Morris was named CIAA Week #1 Offensive Player of the Week after leading the team with dynamic scoring and consistent attacking. Setter Giovanna Teixeira earned CIAA Week #1 Setter of the Week, orchestrating the offense with precision and poise. Their efforts helped set the tone for the season and will be key as the Broncos face a challenging slate at the Valkyries Invitational.

Tournament Schedule:

Friday, September 12
