JACKSON, Tenn. - 9/27/2005 - The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ University volleyball team remains atop the TranSouth Conference standings early in league play. The Lady Bulldogs now sit as the lone unbeaten team as they knocked off previously unbeaten Lyon College 3-1 (28-30, 30-24, 30-24, 30-25) on Tuesday night. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is now 2-0 in TranSouth play and 9-4 overall, while Lyon falls to 10-12 overall and 2-1 in league play.
