Match set for 6 p.m.

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Looking to remain perfect at home, the University of Evansville volleyball team will face Tennessee State at 6 p.m. on Tuesday inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Facing crosstown squad USI in last week’s home opener, the Purple Aces finished with a 3-0 victory.  As a team, UE hit .409 with the defense holding the Screaming Eagles to .236.  Alondra Vazquez led the way with 13 kills while Giulia Cardona and Melanie Feliciano recorded 12 and 11, respectively.

Feliciano led the way with 10 digs while Kora Ruff finished with 38 assists and nine digs.

Over the weekend, UE competed in the Golden Eagle Invitational in Cookeville, Tenn.  Without the services of Vazquez, the Aces dropped their three matches in the event.  Evansville put up an impressive fight in Friday’s match against Big Ten foe Northwestern.  Six kills by Cardona helped UE earn a win in the first set before the Wildcats were able to fend off the challenge.

UE also picked up a set victory in Saturday’s match against Tennessee Tech.
