Volleyball vs. Mobile Preview

Women's Volleyball by: Carter Moles

Regular season to conclude with clash against Rams

Faulkner wraps up its regular season with an SSAC contest against Mobile Thursday night at 7 p.m. in Tine Davis Gymnasium. The Lady Eagles can neither fall nor rise in the standings with the results in what could prove to be a preview of an SSAC Tournament pool play match next week. The Lady Eagles are encouraging the fans to wear white tonight for a whiteout. 

Faulkner is currently locked into the five seed and Mobile is in fourth, but could jump to third with a win and a Blue Mountain loss against Talladega which would push them into the pool opposite the Lady Eagles. 

However, Thursday night's match will be more about the final tune up before the tournament as both teams try to enter the postseason on a win streak. The Rams are on a four game streak and the Lady Eagles have won the last two. The Lady Eagles have won three of the last four home matches against the Rams and look to hold onto that home court advantage Thursday night.

The first match between the two ended with a 3-0 Mobile win with the first and third sets ending close. Alexis McInroy led the Lady Eagles with 10 kills that night while the Rams were paced by Abby Andrews's 12 and Carli Rouse's 11. Mobile's serve kept Faulkner off balance with nine aces in the three set match. 

The match will feature two strong middle blockers in Faulkner's Julia Rice and Mobile's Rachel Hart. The two average .9 blocks and .95 per set respectively. Mobile continues to hold the highest attack percentage and hold the lowest opponent attack percentage in the league. The two teams place second and third in the league on the block. 

After the match, six seniors will be recognized and Head Coach Tori Renda will receive a plaque for her 300th career win.
