In 2019, CU is 2-1 in five sets this season after posting a 1-4 mark in five-set matches in 2018. The four losses included a five-set defeat against West Virginia Wesleyan in final home match of last season. Despite the loss, senior setter
Jenna Mounts and Rodgers each had 20 assists while Shannon registered 20 digs. Coulter and sophomore middle hitter
Camryn Huber each had four blocks against WVWC.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AMeanwhile, junior outside hitter
Kirsti Pouncy just missed a double-double of eight kills and 23 digs, but her dig total was a personal single-match best.
REGAIN
Friday night will be the first meeting between Concord and Davis & Elkins since the 2012 season when both teams were in the WVIAC. CU is just 2-8 versus the Senators since 2005. The Mountain Lions did play in a tournament at D&E in 2014 and 2015, but did not see the Senators in either instance.
DAVIS & ELKINS AT A GLANCE
The Senators swept Charleston during the first weekend of conference play in three sets, but lost to West Virginia State. Davis & Elkins is holding opponents to a .107 hitting percentage this season which is the lowest mark in the MEC. Kaitlyn LeCour is ranked third in the conference in kills per set at 3.53.
WEST VIRGINIA WESLEYAN AT A GLANCE
Like Davis & Elkins, Wesleyan defeated Charleston to start MEC play before dropping a match to WVSU. Concord and WVWC have just one mutual opponent to this point in the season as both squads have played Shepherd. Jenny Lundy's .269 hitting percentage ranks eighth in the MEC.
