Box Score By Matt Barker, Sports Information Director
HENDERSON, Tenn. - The Lady Lion volleyball team will look to improve their record to 9-5 tonight as they face non-conference neighboring opponent Lane (Tenn) College at 6:00 PM at the Brewer Sports Center.
SETTING THE STAGE
The Lady Lions ( 8-5, 2-1) are coming off a 3-1 win at Central Baptist (Ark.) College (5-17, 0-4) on Thursday. Allie Moss led the attack for the Lady Lions with 18 kills while Emily Humphry dished out 25 assists on the way to hard fought road victory in four sets (24-26, 28-26, 25-22, 25-12).
Lane College (0-19, 0-14) have yet to pick up a victory this season. The Dragons, an NCAA Division 2 school out of neighboring Jackson, Tenn., are members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC).
LAST TIME THEY MET
Tonight's matchup between FHU and Lane College will be the first meeting between the two schools in program history.
WHO TO WATCH
One of the keys to success for FHU on the offensive end is having a good setter to organize the attack. Senior Emily Humphry has contnued her success at the setter position, accumulating 235 assists midway through the season. Humphry has exceeded 20 kills in eight of the 13 matches FHU has played this year, including a season high 28 kills against Martin Methodist College on September 8. After seeing limited time at setter her first two seasons with the Lady Lions behind all-conference performer Renata Ferreira, Humphry became the team's top setter last season and led the team in assists with 342 and averaged 4.5 assists per set. Humphry is on pace to surpass that mark in 2015. The Lady Lions will rely on Humphry and the front line to have success tonight and throughout the four-game home stand this week.
HOME SWEET HOME
