LAST TIME OUT
Wright State remained perfect early in the Horizon League season with a three-set sweep over Youngstown State on the road Tuesday night. The Raiders saw eight different players record kills, each finishing with at least three kills, paced by an eight-kill night from Reilly Zegunis. Megan Alders tallied seven kills and Callie Martin had six of her own. Zegunis and Alders also made their presence known at the net, with Zegunis recording four blocks and both Alders and Aaliyah Byers tallying three blocks. Wright State recorded nine service aces in the sweep, led by three service aces from Andrea Bortulin and two each from Jenny Wessling and Lauren Yacobucci. Yacobucci passed out 30 of the Raiders' 37 assists while Wessling collected 17 digs, both match-highs.

SERIES VS. THE GOLDEN GRIZZLIES
Two four-set victories for the Raiders last year extended their all-time series lead to 18-12 against Oakland. Wright State has won the last 10 matches against Oakland dating back to the 2018 season.

HISTORY AGAINST THE VIKINGS
The all-time series now sits at 42-37 in favor of the Raiders after three victories against the Vikings last season, the last coming in the Horizon League tournament semifinals, while Wright State has won 10 straight matches against Cleveland State dating back to the 2018 season.

KNOW THE FOES
- Oakland enters the weekend on a two-match winning streak after Horizon League wins at IUPUI on Tuesday and at home over Robert Morris last Saturday. Oakland is 3-1 in Horizon action, also owning a win at Purdue Fort Wayne and a four-set loss at home to Youngstown State. Oakland is 3-3 in true road matches so far this season after a 4-1 record in neutral site contests.
- Cleveland State enters the weekend winners of its last two matches and will face Northern Kentucky Friday night before visiting the Raiders on Saturday. Cleveland State is 3-1 in Horizon League action and begins the weekend 4-0 in true road matches to date and with a 2-2 neutral site record.

DEFEND McLIN
Since the start of the 2018 season, Wright State is 50-9 overall in home matches inside McLin Gymnasium after a 21-60 home mark (and just 54 total victories, home or otherwise) from 2011-2016. Overall, the Raiders are 63-15 in Horizon League play since the start of 2018.

SPREADING THE LOVE
Wright State saw eight different players each record multiple kills in its HL win at Youngstown State on September 26, but no players reached double-digit kills. This marked the third time this season the Raiders have failed to have a player reach 10-plus kills and the first time its happened this season in a win (losses to Washington State and Dayton).

FIFTH YEAR FAVES
Graduate students Megan Alders and Callie Martin sit atop nearly all of Wright State's offensive categories, including kills (Alders 166, Martin 138), kills per set (Alders 3.25, Martin 2.76). The pair also pace the Raiders in total points and points per set while having logged the most attack attempts on the roster.
