Number of the Day
5 - Conference battles are heating up across the country. That being said, there are still 5 teams that are undefeated in conference. Hawaii is sitting at 6-0 in the Big West, two games ahead of Long Beach. Penn State (8-0) also has a 2 game lead over the second place team (GMU) in the EIVA. Over in the GLVC, Maryville is putting on a show going 10-0 in conference. Lincoln Memorial, IVA Goliath, is 3-0, but it should be pointed out that the IVA does standings a little different. Lastly, Fort Valley State (6-0) has already locked up the top spot in the SIAC.

Today’s Match Projections
Volleyball gets a holiday.
Happy Holiday (Passover/Easter) for all following the stack.
Those road wins may have UH in the drivers seat in Big West play.
SHU may have placed themselves in the EIVA playoff with the wins over Princeton but the Tigers still have Harvard to play.
NKU will go but will UMES and/or Manhattan join them as 1st year programs entering conference tournament play.
McKendree with a huge win at Lewis.
Plenty to play for starting on Wednesday.
