Eagles conclude 2019 home schedule with Missouri S&T, Maryville

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team hosts its final two home matches of 2019 at the Screaming Eagles Arena, with the Missouri University of Science and Technology Friday night and Maryville University Saturday.

The Screaming Eagles carry a 13-13 record into their final home weekend, including a 5-6 mark in Great Lakes Valley Conference play, after upsetting then-No. 8 Lewis University and sweeping the University of Illinois Springfield last weekend, leading to USI's first-ever sweep of the GLVC Player of the Week awards with junior setter Casey Cepicky receiving the offensive award and freshman libero Audrey Crowder taking the defensive. The Eagles also managed their first weekend-sweep in conference play since the 2015 campaign.

USI will honor its five seniors - outside hitter Lindsey Stose, defensive specialist Lizzy Gardner, middle hitter Elexis Coleman, libero/outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey and middle blocker Amanda Jung - in Senior Day festivities prior to the Maryville match on Saturday.

Coverage of this weekend's action can be found at GoUSIEagles.com. Live-streaming of both matches will be hosted on the GLVC Sports Network (glvcsn.com/usi) while in-match updates can be found by following @USIAthletics on Twitter.

Scouting Report

USI v. Missouri S&T: Friday, 7 p.m.

The Miners bring a 20-6 (7-4 GLVC) resume to the Screaming Eagles Arena after knocking off Drury University in four sets last weekend, handing the Panthers their first loss in GLVC play this season. 

The Eagles hold a 9-5 series lead over Missouri S&T in a series that began in 2008, though the Miners have claimed four of the last five meetings. 

USI v. Maryville: Saturday, 3 p.m. (Senior Day)

The Saints carry an 8-20 (1-10 GLVC) record to Lebanon, Illinois where Maryville will battle McKendree University prior to visiting Evansville on Saturday. Maryville earned its first GLVC victory Saturday when it hosted Southwest Baptist University.

USI is 8-2 all-time against the Saints, but both of Maryville's victories against the Eagles have come in the last three matchups. USI last defeated Maryville at home in 2015.
