Volleyball Heads to Radford for Non-Conference Match
9/29/2003
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Following a three-match homestand last week, the Marshall volleyball team will begin a road swing of three matches beginning with Tuesday?s trip to the Big South Conference?s Radford University to face the Highlanders at 6 p.m. at the Dedmon Center.
Marshall (10-6, 1-1 MAC) is coming off a key Mid-American Conference victory on Sunday, upending the Akron Zips 3-2 (30-23, 24-30, 30-27, 26-30, 15-13). Freshman Jen Harper (Columbus, Ohio) recorded a team and career-high 18 kills in the win, while junior Isabell Anderer (Sinsheim, Germany) collected 14 kills and 12 digs, her fifth double-double of 2003.
The Herd fell to Eastern Kentucky in the season?s first home match on Tuesday and to Ohio in the conference opener on Friday.
Radford (1-13) notched its lone win of the season on Sept. 20 versus Campbell, 3-0. RU is on a current two-match losing streak, having been dealt two consecutive 0-3 losses at the hands of Wake Forest and Liberty. Divona Cox leads the Highlanders with a 2.65 kills per game average, while setter Danielle Rynd has collected 362 assists (8.04/game).
The Thundering Herd has not faced Radford since opening up the 1995 season with a 3-0 sweep over the Highlanders in Huntington. Marshall leads the all-time series with RU, 13-11.
The Herd will play a weekend set following the Radford match, at conference foe Miami (Ohio) on Saturday and at Xavier on Sunday.
