Bulldog volleyball enters two conference matchups this weekend against Drury and Southwest Baptist University with an 0-15 record and an 0-3 record in conference play. The Bulldogs are coming off four straight five set matches including a hard fought match with conference leader Quincy Oct 5.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bulldogs and Hawks traded sets with the Hawks winning the first and third and the Bulldogs winning the second and fourth before losing 12-15 in the fifth set. This was a promising outing for the Bulldogs versus a good team in QU who is 15-1 on the year and 4-0 in GLVC play.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Five set matches have been a common theme for Truman this year. They’ve played a total of ten, five set matches out of fifteen matches played. Although the Bulldogs played well in the first four sets they had a streak of poor play in the fifth being able to seal the deal and get that first win of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, they have a good opportunity to do so against Drury, the Bulldogs are 18-8-1 all-time against the Panthers and won in their last matchup last year. Their history against the Bearcats is equally as favorable as the bulldogs enter their matchup Saturday with a 53-8 record, but they did lose to SBU on Sept 20 of this year in tournament play in a five set match very similar to their loss to Quincy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulldog fans hope the match against Drury will fall in the Bulldogs favor as they take on the Panthers this Friday Oct 11.<\/span><\/p>\n
