PEORIA, Ill. -- Fresh off a 4-0 weekend to claim the 2017 CEFCU Invitational title, Bradley Volleyball has another busy stretch on tap with the Braves hosting Southern Illinois (Friday) and Missouri State (Saturday) to open Missouri Valley Conference play in addition to traveling to Indiana State Monday for the first conference road match of the year.
Bradley (7-7 overall) will open the MVC schedule against Southern Illinois (1-10 overall) Friday at 7 p.m. at Renaissance Coliseum, marking just the second time the Braves will open league play against the Salukis despite the two sharing conference membership for 35 years.
