WKU volleyball looks to stay hot this weekend as the Hilltoppers take a nine-game win streak to Miami for a doubleheader against 2-15 Florida International University. 

The Hilltoppers look to continue to dominate in this matchup, as the Panthers haven’t won against WKU since 2010 and have only won eight times total in the series. 

Senior outside hitter Kaylee Cox has led on offense all season, totaling 235 kills and 27 service aces. Middle hitter Izzy Van De Wiele anchors the defense, amounting 102 blocks this season. 

The Panthers are led by outside hitter Jillian Huckabey, who has 167 kills on the season, along with 14 service aces. If FIU will pull off the upset, they will need a strong performance from middle blocker Travel Morris, who leads the team with 42 blocks. 

“FIU’s got a lot of new faces this year like they have had the last few years and it’s taken them a while to find that connectivity,” Head Coach Travis Hudson said. “When you look at their individual pieces they’re a talented team.”

The games are set for Saturday, Oct. 12. at 1 pm, and Sunday, Oct. 13 at 11 am.
