The Drake University volleyball team returns to the road this weekend to continue Missouri Valley Conference play after enjoying a four-game homestand. The Bulldogs open up the road series at Loyola on Friday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. followed by an Oct. 15 match at Bradley, also at 7 p.m. Last season, the Bulldogs went 3-1 against those two conference opponents with a season sweep of Bradley.
Drake begins the road trip with an 11-9 overall record this season and a 2-4 mark in the MVC. However, of the Bulldogs' first six conference opponents, five are currently in the NCAA RPI top 100 and have an overall 26-10 conference record.
