Louisburg, NC - Cape Fear volleyball defeated Louisburg College 3-0 on the road Monday evening.
After going 1-1 this past weekend, the Sea Devils looked to earn a win on the road over the Hurricanes, who entered tonight's match third in Region 10 with a conference record of 6-4 and an overall record of 17-5.
While Cape Fear was able to win in three straight sets, none came easy. The first and third sets went to extra points and both finished 26-24, while the second set was close as well, with the Sea Devils taking it 25-20.
