Freshman Lisa Fawell dished out 74 assists in the win, which was one shy of the school record set by Liz Gremillion at Campbell on September 30, 1994.
The Eagles (8-6, 2-4 SoCon) won the opening two games of the match, before the Spartans stormed back to win the final three games to notch their second straight road conference victory and third win overall in the last four matches.
