BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Off to its best Atlantic Sun start in five seasons, the Campbell volleyball team steps out of league play Tuesday night when it hosts North Carolina Central at 7:00 pm in Carter Gym.
The Camels (8-11, 2-2 A-Sun) have won five of their last eight matches overall and three of their last five at home. North Carolina Central (21-8, 10-0 CIAA) enters the match winners of 14 of its last 15 matches overall including a pair of wins over Division I South Carolina State.

BLOCK PARTY: The Camels broke the school block assist record with 28 against Stetson last Saturday. This is the third blocking school record that has either been tied or broken already this season.
