Record-Breaking Wildcats Sweep Mississippi Valley State

Head coach Brittany Williams becomes the all-time winningest head coach in Bethune-Cookman program history as the Wildcats swept Mississippi Valley State, Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee.

 The 74th win of Williams' career pushes her ahead of Vanessa Cogswell in the B-CU record books.

 "Never in my wildest dreams did I envision this moment when I took over this program in 2015," Williams said. "I'm blessed to have had the players, staff, and administrators who've supported my vision and play for this program. I'm thankful for all my past and present players who showed up each and every day to put in the work to get us to this moment."

The Wildcats (7-20, 7-8 SWAC) secured their seventh win of the season in dominant fashion. B-CU hit a .461 as a team for the match, setting a new program record. The Wildcats finished with 45 kills and only four errors on 89 total attacks.

The Delta Devils (1-23, 0-15 SWAC) hit .024 on the afternoon with 17 kills, mustering only 7, 13, and 11 in each set respectively.
