BROOKLYN, N.Y. - The Long Island University women's volleyball team (4-7, 2-0 NEC) claimed its second consecutive victory on Saturday afternoon, defeating Chicago State University (0-12, 0-2 NEC) 3-1 in the Steinberg Wellness Center.  

Fresh off a win over the Cougars on Friday night, the Sharks picked up right where they left off with a 25-20 defeat of Chicago State in the opening set of the match. After Chicago State claimed the second frame in 26-24, come-from-behind fashion, the match stood tied at one.
