For the second-consecutive season, the Pfeiffer University men’s volleyball team captured the 2013 Conference Carolinas men’s volleyball tournament championship, scoring a 3-1 victory over Limestone College at Merner Gym on Sat., April 13. Senior Caleb Brophy of Mission Viejo, Calif., was named the tournament’s most outstanding player after establishing a new school record of 30 kills.
The second-seeded Falcons ended the season with an overall 17-8 record. This achievement is especially notable because men’s volleyball is the only Pfeiffer athletic team to to compete and be classified at the Division I level.
