TROY, Ala. – Troy volleyball is headed north to Murfreesboro, Tenn., as it looks to continue its winning ways at the Blue Raider Bash hosted by Middle Tennessee Friday and Saturday.
Â
The Trojans (2-1) will face off with Stetson Friday at 4 p.m., then follow with MTSU and Austin Peay Saturday at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively.
Â
A few solid veteran performances coupled with strong play from the newest of Trojans helped lead the squad to a runner-up finish in the Troy Invitational at Trojan Arena last weekend – defeating Southern and Southeastern Louisiana in straight sets.
Â
Cheyenne Hayes led the club with 33 points on the weekend, including eight service aces (.89 per set). Her ace total ranks ninth nationally and the average is 13th – both are tops in the Sun Belt.
Â
As a team, the Trojans rank first in the league in aces per set (2.33) and second with a .287 hitting percentage. Junior Jenni Young's .400 attacking percentage is a team-best and is the sixth best in the conference.
