HATTIESBURG, Miss. -Â The Southern Miss volleyball team will take a break from C-USA action on Tuesday night when they travel to Alabama State for a midweek contest. The Golden Eagles and Hornets are slated for a 7 p.m. serve in Montgomery, Ala.Â
The last time out
Southern Miss is just two days removed from knocking off Louisiana Tech in three sets. Kylie Grandy paced the black and gold with 13 kills to up her average kills per set to 4.38. Sarah Bell added 35 assists to pull within 13 of the top spot in career assists in Southern Miss history. The Golden Eagles dominated the second set, allowing just 14 points.Â
At the net, Bell and Alexis Coombs finished with two blocks each. Madison Lawler ended her afternoon with 14 digs, which was a game high. Grandy also added three service aces. Ashley Berry and Catherine Repsher added seven and eight kills, respectively.Â
Scouting Alabama State
The Hornets enter the contest with an overall record of 10-16 and a 7-2 record in the SWAC. In their last outing, Alabama State lost in straight sets to Alabama to match the Golden Eagles' result against the Crimson Tide earlier this season. Junior Krystal Medearis backs Alabama State offensively with 214 kills and eight service aces. Kori Kutsch, a senior, paces the Hornets with 671 assists, good for an average of 7.54 per set.Â
At the net, Candace Martin, a 6-foot middle blocker, has 78 blocks this season and 21 of those have been solo blocks. Kayla Torres has put up a respectable 264 digs this season, while Kutsch has added 197.Â
What's at stakeÂ
Southern Miss is 4-0 against Alabama State all-time. The two squads last met in 2014, which resulted in a 3-0 sweep for the Golden Eagles. In fact, all four wins have come via a 3-0 score. A win by Southern Miss could push the Golden Eagles over .500 prior to heading to FIU and FAU.Â
