With a 3-1 victory over Campbell University November 3, the Georgia State women's volleyball team captured the Trans America Athletic Conference regular-season championship, but that accomplishment paled in comparison to what the team did on the way to the match.

The team was on its way to Campbell from its hotel in Fuquoy-Varina, North Carolina, when the team vans passed an accident.

Junior setter Mary Hyland, a second-year nursing major, and Billie Good, a graduate assistant athletic trainer, stopped to see if they could assist.

An elderly man lay on the side of the road with several people at his side. He was not breathing and what faint pulse he had had quickly slipped away. No one at the scene knew cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) except Hyland and Good, who are both certified.

The pair jumped into action, with Hyland giving breaths and Good performing the compressions. They revived the man just as the emergency technicians arrived on the scene.

"We could hear the ambulance on the way as we were doing CPR," Hyland said. "They couldn't get there fast enough for me, but when he started coughing after the sixth round of compressions, I felt a lot better."

The man, whose name has not been released by police, is now in stable condition.

The team continued on to Campbell to win the conference regular-season title. Next up is the conference tournament.

Perhaps the Georgia State players should build in a little extra travel time, just in case their services are needed again.
