MOREHEAD, Ky. –
The EKU volleyball team will tote its six match win streak against the Eagles of Morehead State University to the Johnson Arena for an Ohio Valley Conference match on Wednesday.
 
Wednesday's first serve is scheduled for 7 p.m. The Colonels have won the last six meetings against the Eagles dating back to the 2013 season. EKU has won its last four matches this season.
 
Reigning OVC Newcomer of the Week Nikki Drost leads the EKU offense with 3.10 kills-per-set. Her average ranks eighth in the league. Junior Celina Sanks ranks ninth in the league with 2.98 kills-per-set.
