This past weekend the volleyball team entered the Peach Belt Conference Tournament as the Number two seed due to their second place finish in conference play. They finished the regular season with a 20-9 record.
The Saints took on Lander University in the semifinal match and won three sets to zero.
Then on Sunday for the finals, the Saints were matched up against long-time rival Armstrong Atlantic State University who won the regular season Conference title this year.

Flagler was determined to send the finals into the fifth match and was successful by winning the fourth.
