Two weeks after opening up Southeastern Conference play, the Ole Miss Lady Rebel volleyball team now looks to redeem their 0-4 conference record on the road in Baton Rouge, La. The Rebels face off with the LSU Tigers this Friday. The team will then return home to battle the Auburn Tigers on Sunday.
The Lady Rebels are coming off two tough losses in their SEC road opener last week, and the Lady Rebels travel into enemy territory once again.
This time they head to Baton Rouge where the LSU Tigers boasts a 10-3 record, but are also winless within the conference. The Tigers continue their homestand after losing to Georgia and defending national champion No. 4 Texas last weekend. The player for Ole Miss to watch will be the Tigers sophomore standout Khourtni Fears, who is currently tied for tenth for kills in the conference.
The match in Baton Rouge is set for 7:00 p.m.
After Friday’s game against LSU, Ole Miss will spend a day traveling before arriving back home to take on the Auburn Tigers (9-7, 0-4).
Auburn opened SEC play two weeks ago and have dropped four straight conference games, most recently to Arkansas and Missouri last weekend. Two players to watch will be seniors Katherine Culwell and Camila Jersonsky, who are ranked sixth and eighth respectively among active SEC players in career kills. Auburn’s match against Ole Miss will be the last of their three-game road trip.
The match is set for 1:30 p.m. in the Gillom Sports Center.
