HUNTINGTON, W.Va.- The Marshall Volleyball Team will look to finish its regular season a high note Friday night when it welcomes the Southern Miss Golden Eagles to the Cam Henderson Center for the second meeting of their weekend series.
The Thundering Herd improved to 15-11 overall and 8-7 in Sun Belt Conference play after defeating the Golden Eagles 25-17, 25-23, and 27-25. Marshall will look to carry that momentum into Friday’s matchup as it prepares for the upcoming Sun Belt Conference Tournament.
Maddie Smith continues to be one of Marshall’s biggest offensive weapons providing 11 kills in the Herd’s win Thursday evening. Her ability to produce points and establish momentum will be important as Marshall looks to repeat Thursday’s performance.
On the other side, Southern Miss enters Friday’s contest looking to respond after Thursday’s loss. The Golden Eagles sit at 16-10 and have relied heavily on their defensive presence throughout the season.
The Herd will look to protect its home floor and give its seniors a memorable final regular-season performance in Huntington.
Marshall and Southern Miss will meet again Friday at the Cam Henderson Center. FM88 Sports’ Zane Quentrill and Connor Brown will have the call for this one with pregame coverage scheduled for 5:45 p.m. and first serve 6 on FM88.1.
