The Raiders opened Horizon League action last weekend, starting conference play 2-0 after a pair of three set sweeps over Oakland and Youngstown State. Wright State takes on Northern Kentucky at 6 p.m. on Friday night before a 4 p.m. matchup with IUPUI on Saturday afternoon.
Wright State is holding opponents to a .131 hitting percentage this season, allowing only an 11.7 kills per set average. The strong Raider defense is averaging 19.06 digs per set and is putting up a wall at the net, knocking down 32 solo blocks for the season and averaging 2.6 blocks per set. The 19.06 digs per set mark is fourth nationally heading into this weekend's action, while Jenna Story continues to lead the country in total digs with 319 and with her 6.38 digs per set average.
