HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – It seemed as if the University of West Alabama Volleyball team was going to do to Alabama Huntsville what had plagued the Tigers last weekend ad come back from a two-set deficit, but it was not to be as the hosting Chargers won the fifth set and the Gulf South Conference match Saturday afternoon in Spragins Hall.
