LAST TIME OUT
Wright State split a pair of home matches with Milwaukee last week, sweeping Friday night in a win before falling in three sets on Saturday. Friday saw the Raiders tally 13 service aces as a group while
Reilly Zegunis had a match-best 13 kills,
Mya Ayro had 11 kills and
Katie Sowko had 11 kills and a match-leading 14 digs. On Saturday, Wright State hit just .142 as a group with 27 attacking errors as Ayro had a match-best 18 kills and Zegunis added 15 kills of her own as the pair combined for 33 of the 45 Wright State kills. Sowko was held to just five kills, her lowest output in a month, but did add 11 digs, which was tied for the team-high along with
Taygan Corstange.
ROAD TRIP!
This weekend kicks of a stretch that will see Wright State play six of its next seven matches on the road, with the lone home match coming up next Tuesday against Northern Kentucky. After trekking to Green Bay, the Raiders also travel to Robert Morris and Purdue Fort Wayne before closing the regular season at home against Oakland.
POSTSEASON PLAYBACK
Wright State took both regular season meetings from Green Bay last year at home, but it was Green Bay who took down the Raiders in five sets in the Horizon League tournament semifinals last November in Dayton.
