Currently, FIU holds the sixth spot, but has a chance to finish as high as third headed into the final weekend of competition. NMSU sits fourth with a chance to finish as high as second due to holding the tiebreaker over Middle Tennessee.
Fans can not only expect this matchup to be tightly-contested with all of that to play for, but also a potential rematch in the CUSA Tournament as both sides will likely enter with similar records.
The Panthers enter this tilt after falling in two matches at Western Kentucky Nov. 3-4. FIU has enjoyed a lot of success at home this season with a 7-2 overall record and 5-1 mark in CUSA play.
FIU continues to be led offensively by senior Jade Sadeiko, who eclipsed the 300-kill mark last weekend. Tanchin and Amin have also been big parts of the Panther offense, ranking second and third with 207 and 191 kills, respectively.
SCOUTING NMSU
The Aggies enter this tilt following two five-set victories at home versus Sam Houston State. NMSU's Ryleigh Whitekettle is sixth in CUSA with 3.13 kills per set as the Aggies' top offensive option.
Darian Markham has also been a standout player for the Aggies defensively, ranked second in CUSA with 4.62 digs per set, adding 35 service aces, eighth in CUSA play.
UP NEXT
FIU will head to Lynchburg, Va. for the CUSA Tournament, hosted by Liberty, which runs from Nov. 17-19.
