BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Volleyball will finally get to open its 2020-21 campaign on Saturday, Oct. 3, with a home match against Mercer. The match will not be open to the public but will be streamed for free on HSSN's Facebook page.
"We're really excited to have the opportunity to play a match," WKU Volleyball head coach Travis Hudson opened. "It's been almost 10 months since our kids have had an opportunity to play and hopefully this gives them a chance to throw the jersey on and do what they love, which is to compete and represent that WKU across their chest."
First serve against Mercer is slated for noon CT, and will mark the fourth-ever meeting between the sides. WKU leads the all-time series 2-1, including a win in the most recent meeting that took place in Bowling Green during the 2005 campaign.
The match will count towards the team's 2020-21 season record and will be the Hilltoppers' first action against another team since December 6, 2019. The team was just getting underway in its spring schedule when everything was shut down due to COVID-19 in March. With student-athletes back on campus this fall, the team has been able to hold a pair of Red and White scrimmages on the E.A. Diddle Arena main court but the squad's trio of newcomers will make their debuts on Oct. 3.
If additional fall matches are added, they will be announced as plans are finalized.
