RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University beach volleyball team will hit the road on Wednesday for a doubleheader against commonwealth rival Morehead State at 2 and 4 p.m.
In the two teams' previous meeting back on Feb. 23, the Colonels knocked off the Eagles, 4-1, only falling at the No. 3 flight.
Since then, the Colonels have gone on to achieve a record of 11-8 on the season with the Eagles entering the double header at 6-6 on the year.
Last time out, EKU went 3-1 at the ULM Beach Invitational, defeating Hendrix, Central Arkansas, and Tarleton State, only falling to host ULM.
In Louisiana, the No. 1 pair of
Sarah Mitchell and
Paityn Walker went undefeated, the only pair at the tournament to do so.
The Eagles look to build off their most recent win last Saturday against Tennessee Tech having dropped four of their last six matches.
MSU's top performing pair comes at the No. 3 spot made up of M.E. Hargan and Shea Hefner who have gone 7-3 this season.
All time, the Eagles own the head-to-head record at 10-3, winning the first ten duals between the lone two beach programs in Kentucky, but EKU has taken the last three consecutively.
