JACKSONVILLE – Following their Ohio Valley Conference-opening win on Wednesday, head coach Todd Garvey's Gamecocks will be back in action on Saturday afternoon at Pete Mathews Coliseum.
Â
The Jacksonville State volleyball team will host UT Martin to close out the opening weekend of league play with a 2 p.m. match on Saturday. The Gamecocks (7-6, 1-0 OVC) are coming off a 3-0 straight-set victory over Tennessee Tech, while the Skyhawks (4-11, 0-1) dropped their midway match to Southeast Missouri.
Â
The two have met just once a year since 2012, exchanging home and away matches. Jax State leads the series since 1999 by a margin of 17-6, and has taken each of the last two meetings. Garvey's offensive unit that bolstered the seventh-best team hitting percentage in JSU's Division I era on Wednesday (.398), will look to continue a streak that dates back to 2011 when UTM last won inside The Pete.
Â
Junior Lexie Libs was a large part of JSU's outcome on Wednesday with 45 assists distributed among Lena Kindermann, Kaylee Frear, Sadie Anderson, Kaylie Milton and Taylor Pribyl. The Hoosier-state native ranks 13th in the nation as of Friday with 512 assists for the season. Meanwhile, Kindermann leads the OVC with a .351 hitting percentage and senior Kaylee Frear notched her 900th career kill against Tech. Â
Â
Defensively, the Gamecocks now have three Gamecocks will 100-or-more digs on the year led by freshman Erin Carmichael with 163. Milton has 113, followed by Dani Steele with 105 and Libs is not far behind with 95. Both UTM and JSU rank in the top five of the league in blocks, Frear had been JSU;s leader at the net with 41 blocks.
Â
Saturday's 2 p.m. contest will stream on ESPN+ with live stats also available at JSUGamecockSports.com. All JSU home volleyball matches are free admission.
