Opponent Backgrounds
Bethune-Cookman went 1-2 last weekend as they traveled to Huntsville, Texas to participate in the Sam Houston Invitational. The Lady Wildcats started the tournament with a win over Texas Southern University and went on to drop back-to-back matches against Drake University and Sam Houston State. Bethune-Cookman is led by sophomore outside hitter, Jordan Jefferson, after she tallied a team high 22 kills in the Wildcats debut.  
 
Florida Atlantic comes off an 0-3 start to the season after dropping matches to Miami, Central Florida and Florida Gulf Coast. The Owls return three Preseason All-Conference USA players, Sigourney Kame, Ivone Martinez and Abbi Reid. Kame returns as the leading attacker after averaging 3.85 kills per frame last year. The Bulldogs are 0-1 against FAU after dropping their only encounter on Sep. 6, 2006. 
 
St. Peters is led by head coach Amable Martinez, who has helped lead the Peacocks to a 2-5 start to begin the 2018 campaign. The Owls welcomed eight newcomers to the 2018 roster. One of the new additions, Alanis Alvarado, was most recently named the MAAC Player of the Week and MAAC Rookie of the Week after recording 69 kills in her first 19 sets played.
 
This will be the Bulldogs second regular-season tournament of the 2018-19 year.

Dave Zelenock on the FAU Invitational: "We are missing some key players heading into the weekend but we will still be in good shape. We are using every game as an opportunity to prepare us for Southern Conference play. Each match this weekend presents us with a different type of team and a different challenge to face. Athletes from The Citadel are no stranger to adversity so we expect to compete well, make the changes we have worked on and come home with some wins."
