ONE OF A KIND
Prior to Friday's match, head coach Kate Dillon and the team will honor senior middle hitter Amber Hall. The Massillon, Ohio native has appeared in 92 matches. She has recorded 721 kills and 213 blocks (72 solo). Hall is top five in program history in hitting percentage (.260) and top 10 in solo blocks. Hall is coming off a 16-kill match Friday against Alderson Broaddus as she hit .333 in the match. Hall's career high in kills came last season when she rolled up 21 in a contest versus WVU Tech.

TRIPLE THREAT
In Saturday's four-set loss to Notre Dame, CU got three double-doubles in the match as sophomore outside hitter Gracie Brackney (13 kills, 19 digs) notched her second career double-double while having a career best in digs. Freshman setter Kenzee Chaffin tied her own single-match program record with 46 assists to go with 13 digs. Sophomore outside hitter Hannah Steele came up with 12 kills and 18 digs for her 11th career double-double. Earlier this season, Chaffin had a double-double of 41 assists and 16 digs in a five-set loss to West Virginia Wesleyan.

ON THE REBOUND
Concord will be looking to split the season series with WVWC after losing in five sets at the Carter Center in late September. Along with Chaffin's performance, Concord got a career-high 18 kills from Brackney while Steele chipped in 16 kills. The Mountain Lions will be seeking to end a brief two-match losing streak to Wesleyan on its home floor. Last season, CU lost in four sets to the Bobcats. Steele just missed a double-double with 14 kills and nine digs.

SECOND TIME AROUND
The Maroon and Gray lost to Davis & Elkins in three sets earlier this season. Junior middle hitter Kyndra Pilant and Steele each led the way with eight kills against the Senators. Pilant hit a team-best .316 in the match, and Steele nearly had a double-double with nine digs.
