The UNCP volleyball team (18-8, 5-4 PBC) will return to Peach Belt Conference action on Tuesday with a matchup against Augusta State (9-18, 2-9 PBC) in Augusta, Ga. at 7:00 p.m.

The Lady Braves head into the matchup on the heels of a great string of matches last week where they finished 3-1, including a 3-1 win over PBC foe Francis Marion on Wednesday. UNCP is now 10-4 in their last 14 matches dating back to a dramatic 3-2 victory over USC Aiken on Sept. 25 in Aiken, S.C., a run that has them currently eighth in the Southeast Region standings.

UNCP is 4-2 in conference matches during that stretch, and have four athletes averaging over 2.30 kills per set during the span in Allie Schneider (2.85), Rebecca Morgan (2.70) and Tiara Anderson (2.38), as well as freshman Madison Greiner (2.40), who has impressed lately with a .400 attack percentage.  Morgan leads the squad with 218 kills on the year, while Anderson currently sits second in the category, needing just three kills to eclipse the 200-mark for the season.

The Jaguars have lost seven out of their last 10 matches, and lost their conference opener to UNCP in the first matchup of the season between the two schools back on Sept. 15 by a 3-1 final in Pembroke. UNCP currently holds an 18-17 record in the all-time series against ASU, and snapped a three-match losing streak to the Jaguars with their win earlier this season.
