TROY, Ala. - The Troy University volleyball team returns to action Tuesday night in Sartain Hall, where they will face the Panthers of Georgia State University.

"It's always exciting to play at home and it will be great to see what we can do after being on the road for so long," head coach Sonny Kirkpatrick said. "After a difficult weekend, it will be good to have a chance to rebound and get ready for conference play Friday and Saturday."

Georgia State leads the series with Troy 10-6, with the Panthers winning at Sartain Hall each time the two teams have played since 1995.

The Trojans are led this season by senior Megan Henderson and sophomore Devin Von Pingel. Henderson has recorded 529 assists, averaging 9.45 assists per set, 131 digs, 65 kills, and has a .338 attack percentage. Meanwhile, Von Pingel has recorded 150 kills, averaging 2.59 kills per set, 18 digs, 36 total blocks, and has a .275 attack percentage

The game will begin at 6 p.m. in Sartain Hall. Admission is free, and the match can be seen on All-Access courtesy of TrojanVision who will be taping the game for a later broadcast.
