MOUNT VERNON, Ga. - The Lady Barons Volleyball team looked to get back in action after the unexpected Hurricane delay to their season, hosting Loyola New Orleans in a make-up game. The Wolfpack came out in full force, and despite the Lady Barons' best on a short week of practice, it was not enough to prevent being swept by Loyola. The Wolfpack won in three straight sets, 25-20, 25-18, and 25-10.
Coach Obed Quiles spoke to us after the game and shared his feelings about the team's performance. "I am thankful to be back on the court playing volleyball again after 17 days off from the Hurricane. Hopefully, we can be on a normal schedule and get ready for the busy week ahead of us,"
