MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Morehead State volleyball remains at home this week for a midweek matchup with its OVC "travel partner" Tennessee Tech. The Eagles and Golden Eagles serve it up from FamilyLeisure.com Court at 6 p.m. ET Wednesday.
MSU will look to enact a reversal of the last matchup it had with TTU on Oct. 12 in Tennessee. TTU broke a nine-match losing streak to the Eagles and won 3-1. The Eagles have won the last four matches against Tech in Morehead.
The match can be seen live on ESPN+ with Dean Hardin calling it.
