HENDERSON, Tenn. - The Freed-Hardeman Lady Lions look to continue their momentum from this past weekend, coming off of three straight wins at the Faulkner Invitational, as they host Martin Methodist (Tenn.) College for the first home match of the season.

SETTING THE STAGE

The Lady Lions (5-3) are coming off two straight weekends of tournament play. FHU was able to split the matches they played during their first weekend of action at the Milligan Mountain Madness tournament, winning two of the four matches they played.

This past weekend at the Faulkner Invitational the Lady Lions did one better and came away with three wins out of the four games they played, including a win against tournament host Faulkner (Ala.) University (7-4) in five sets.

Martin Methodist (Tenn.) College (1-8) opened their season with seven straight losses. However, the Redhawks were able to pick up a win in straight sets this past weekend at the College of Coastal Georgia Tournament against Bryan College- a team that is currently receiving votes.

Tonight's non-conference matchup against Martin Methodist will allow FHU to continue building on its strong play in preparation for conference action next week.

LAST TIME THEY MET

Freed-Hardeman hosted Martin Methodist last season on September 30, 2014, and took a three-sets to one win over the Redhawks (25-23, 25-19, 23-25, 27-25). Allie Moss led the attack by with a career-high 28 kills while Kiyla Glasper had 11 kills. Sara Denton had 22 assists in the match and Amanda Cunningham had six blocks.

WHAT TO WATCH

Allie Moss has continued to put up impressive numbers on the attack and leads FHU in kills, averaging 3.76 kills per set. The Lady Lions will have a good chance to come away with their sixth win of the season if Moss continues her strong play.

FHU and Martin Methodist have played one common opponent so far this season- Shawnee State (Ohio) University (7-4). Freed-Hardeman came up short against the Bears during the Milligan Mountain Madness Invitational in five sets. Shawnee State downed the Redhawks at the Volley in the Mountains Tournament (3-1).

The Redhawk attack is led by Senior Ashlyn Lam-Ho Anduha and Junior Belen Albertos Asencio, both averaging 2.21 kills per set.
