Saturday's Match
The Murray State volleyball team looks to snap a 10-match losing streak to Morehead State Saturday morning at Racer Arena in the regular season finale. MSU hasn't beaten the Eagles since 2008 when they defeated them in the OVC Tournament 3-1.
Back-To-Back
The Racers secured their second straight outright OVC regular season title Wednesday night in their sweep over Austin Peay in Clarksville. MSU became just the seventh team in OVC history to win at least two consecutive outright conference championships. The Racers will host the OVC Tournament Nov. 19-21.

Saturday is Senior Day from Racer Arena as MSU says goodbye to four seniors playing their final regular season matches at home. Sam Bedard, Alyssa Lelm, Taylor Olden and Emily Schmahl will be honored prior to the match. This senior class is the third-most winningest class in program history with 72 victories and their .632 winning percentage is the best for a class in school history. The 50 wins and .862 winning percentage over the past two seasons are the best marks for a two-year stretch at MSU as well.
