HOUSTON, Texas- The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks Volleyball Team (10-5, 2-0) kicks off their second weekend of conference play as they travel to Houston for a Thursday evening duel with the Houston Christian Huskies (5-8, 2-0).
Ladyjacks at a Glance:
The Ladyjacks come into Houston on Thursday night looking to be in midseason form as they have rattled off five consecutive victories. The 'Jacks opened up conference play on a strong note as they hosted A&M-Corpus Christi and traveled to UTRGV to open up conference play. SFA had no trouble dismantling the Islanders at home in a 3-1 victory to extend their home winning streak to 33 games, before traveling to Edinburg and defeating former WAC rival UTRGV in a commanding 3-0 sweep. During this five-game winning streak for SFA, the Ladyjacks have complied three sweeps and have even more impressively not lost more than one set during the winning streak.
Huskies at a Glance:
The Houston Christian Huskies get set to host SFA on Thursday night in the middle of a three-game homestand that saw the Huskies kick-off the homestand with a 3-1 victory over A&M-Corpus Christi. The Huskies, like SFA, have started off conference play on the right foot as they are also 2-0 in conference play as they claimed a win over Nicholls in their conference opener before their latest win over the Islanders at home. The Huskies have been on the unfortunate side of some tightly contested games as their 5-8 record includes five losses in which the Huskies and their opponent went to five sets with the Huskies falling just short in all five matches. Houston Christian is led by Head Coach Trent Herman who is in his 13th season with the Huskies as he has compiled over 250 career wins as a head coach.
Series:
Thursday night's road match for SFA will mark the 19th all-time meeting between these two Southland Conference opponents. SFA leads the all-time series 12-6 as they have won six of the last seven meetings between the two teams. However, in their latest meeting the Huskies completed a 3-0 sweep of SFA in 2022.
