Newberry, SC - Women's Volleyball heads to Newberry on Friday night looking to keep momentum and solidify SAC positioning. LMU sits sixth in the league at 6–8 (10–13 overall) and needs to keep stacking wins to secure a conference tournament spot.

LMU has won three straight, including a 3–1 victory over Newberry last Saturday in Harrogate (19–25, 25–15, 25–20, 25–19). Across the season, Women's Volleyball is hitting .168 with 11.7 kills per set and 1.8 aces per set. The block has produced 1.5 per set, and the defense averages 16.2 digs per set.

Individually, outside hitter Kaytlin Johnson leads the attack with 228 kills (3.12 k/s) and 13 aces. Megan Maier adds 179 kills with steady two-way play, while Finley Sparks provides 2.47 k/s. Middle Sarah Robbins contributes both offense (132 kills) and a team-best 68 total blocks. The setting tandem of Lauren Pickett (369 assists, 37 aces) and Carley Raleigh (418 assists) balances tempo and serve pressure. Libero Lauren Jacob anchors the back row at 5.08 digs per set.

Newberry enters 9–10, 4–8 SAC, and ranks ninth in the standings. The Wolves hit .156 with 11.8 kills per set, 1.7 aces per set, and 1.7 blocks per set. Their top scoring comes from Anna Schneider (222 kills, 3.26 k/s) and middle/setter combo production from Carole Ann Hussey (162 kills, .234). LMU's serve-receive and first-ball sideout will be key, as will limiting Schneider's volume and winning the error margin.

The railsplitters have won three straight in the series and took the October 25th meeting in four sets. A road result Friday would keep Women's Volleyball firmly in the SAC top six with two weeks to play.
