Lady Toppers to open conference play with pair of road tests

The red-hot Lady Topper volleyball team will play its fifth and sixth consecutive road matches on Friday and Sunday as it opens Conference USA play with two tough tests against Florida Atlantic and Charlotte.

WKU (13-2) will come off of a six-day rest period before facing the Owls in Boca Raton, Florida, on Friday evening.

The Lady Toppers have won nine straight matches including a sweep of the Buckeye Invitational at Ohio State this weekend, featuring a 3-0 win over the host No. 25 Buckeyes, the first sweep of a ranked opponent in program history.

With the win over Ohio State, the Lady Toppers knocked the Buckeyes out of the Top-25 poll while picking up 77 votes, the most among teams that did not make this week's Top-25 poll.
