MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State Volleyball takes the OVC's longest winning streak against Tennessee Tech in a mid-week clash at Johnson Arena Wednesday.
The Eagles have won nine straight matches to vault themselves into second place in the OVC, only one game back of leader Austin Peay. Tennessee Tech, meanwhile, started conference play strong, opening with a 4-0 record the last time these two teams met, but have since dropped five of their last seven matches.
Wednesday will be the second matchup between the two schools in the 2021 season. In their last matchup at Cookeville, Morehead State took a 3-1 decision on the back of a career-best performance from freshman
Maycie Welborn, who had 12 kills to lead the Eagles.
Wednesday's 6 p.m. ET match will air on ESPN+.
