MIAMI (Sept. 26, 2019) - The FIU volleyball team continues its month-long road swing with two conference opponents scheduled for the weekend. FIU will first make a stop in Boca Raton to take on FAU on Friday, Sept. 27 before heading to Huntington, West Virginia to face Marshall on Sunday, Sept. 29. 

The Panthers welcome conference play sporting a 7-4 record, having defeated seven of their last eight opponents. 

SCOUTING FAU
The rival Owls own a 6-5 mark on the season, riding a three-match losing streak after dropping matches to Miami, FGCU and UCF. Friday's matchup marks the 35th time FIU and FAU will meet on the court in a rivalry that dates back to 2000, with the Blue and Gold owning a 26-12 all-time record. Following Friday's contest, FIU will host FAU at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center on Sunday, Oct. 6th at 1:00 p.m.

SCOUTING MARSHALL 
The Herd sport a 9-4 overall record, after competing at the Morehead Invitational and coming out of the weekend with two wins prior to dropping the opening match to Morehead State. 
Of the last 10 matchups, the Herd holds a 6-3 record over the Panthers. However, FIU has won the last two games which took place in September and November of 2018 in which FIU swept all six sets against Marshall. 

2018 RECAP
The 2018 FIU indoor volleyball season featured one of the program's most triumphant campaigns in recent memory as the team posted a 19-12 overall record to go along with a 9-5 mark in Conference USA play. The 19 wins marked the highest victory total for the program since 2011 when that year's squad recorded a total of 21 wins. The Panthers finished the regular season sixth overall in the Conference USA standings, but got hot at the perfect time, performing excellently in the conference tournament and reaching their first-ever C-USA Championship match.
