The Wallace State volleyball team extended its unbeaten start to the season on Wednesday night, earning a 3-0 sweep over Gadsden State in Gadsden. The Lions, now 9-0 overall, won by set scores of 25-15, 25-21 and 25-17, securing their sixth consecutive sweep dating back to the Mississippi/Alabama Crossover.
