TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State volleyball looks to keep their winning streak alive this weekend when they welcome Drake to the ISU Arena for a pair of matches on Sunday and Monday.
 
Sunday's matchup with the Bulldogs is slated to begin at 2 p.m. ET while first serve on Monday is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Both matches will be streamed live on ESPN+.
 
SERVES UP
Over the weekend, Indiana State got big performances in the service game to help play a crucial role in the sweep of SIU. Throughout the series, ISU totaled 20 service aces, including 12 in Monday's victory which marked the first time since Sept. 18, 2018 against Saint Louis that ISU has tallied at least 10 in a march. Chloe Mason earned five of those Aces on Monday, giving her the second-best outing in the MVC this season.
 
FIREPOWER
Last season Indiana State saw themselves towards the bottom of every major offensive statistical category. This season, ISU is first in the Valley in hitting percentage at .202 and is fourth in kills per set at 12.76. ISU also holds the second-best mark in the nation of total attacks in a three-set match with 163 from their Feb. 15 match with Bradley. They also have the fifth-best mark in the NCAA of total attacks in a four-set match from their Feb. 14 match with Bradley when they tallied 201. The Trees are also 21st in the nation in team attacks per set at 38.94 and 59th in total kills at 651.
 
DIGGING IN
The Sycamore defense managed to put together two strong defensive matches in a sweep of Southern Illinois. Tedrow is currently 40th in the NCAA with 5.08 digs per set and Indiana State as a team averages 17.98 digs per set, the 24th-best number in the nation. Indiana State's 80-dig performance in a three set-match with Bradley is still the fourth-best number in the NCAA for a three-set match.
 
GIANT KILLERS
With a split at Northern Iowa last weekend, Sycamore women's volleyball can officially boast victories over each of the the top-three teams in the Missouri Valley Conference preseason poll. Earlier this season the Trees split with both Illinois State and Loyola Chicago in the ISU Arena who were ranked second and third in the Valley, respectively.
 
STREAK EXTENDED
With 37 digs in a series with UNI last weekend, Melina Tedrow increased her streak of recording 10+ digs to 22 games.
