WHAT'S NEXT
The Ladyjacks will travel to Wichita, Kan., this weekend for the Shocker Classic where they will take on Portland twice, and Wichita State in the marquee match on Friday evening.
What To Watch For:
- A former member of the Southland Conference, ULM has never beaten SFA on the volleyball court. In fact, each of the last nine meetings between the teams have ended in 3-0 verdicts for the Ladyjacks. The last time the Warhawks won a single set from SFA was in a 3-1 defeat in 2001.
- Sophomore libero Madison Hanlan opened up the year with three straight double-figure dig matches last weekend at Baylor, including a career-best 27 digs in the win over Butler.
- Kelsey Owens posted double-doubles in each her last two matches, while freshman setter Allison Gideon posted a double-double versus SMU as well. She became the first setter since JJ Jones in 2007 to record a double-double with two categories that did not include digs.
