ARLINGTON, Texas - No. 2 Costal Carolina cruised to a 3-0 sweep of No. 7 Georgia Southern in the quarterfinals of the 2016 SBC Volleyball Championship Friday at College Park Center.

Five consecutive Georgia Southern (15-18) errors fueled a 9-0 run that ultimately captured a 25-12 opening set win for the Chanticleers (25-4). The second frame was tighter as the Eagles crept three points behind midway, but offensive trouble routed its effort. Costal Carolina would go on to win 25-18 and take Set 3 25-14 to claim its first win in Sun Belt postseason play.

The Chanticleers out-hit the Eagles 44-22 and out-dug their opponent 48-41. Both teams registered five blocks. Junior Leah Hardeman notched a double-double for the Chanticleers with 13 points and 10 digs. Georgia Southern's Alex Beecher recorded 16 digs.
