TROY, Ala. — Troy volleyball (13–10, 8–6 SBC) concludes its regular-season slate at Trojan Arena this weekend, hosting App State on Friday, Nov. 13, and Saturday, Nov. 14.

Returning from a tough back-to-back road trip, the Trojans look to regroup following hard-fought losses against West Division leader Arkansas State and Coastal Carolina.

Ahead of next week's Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Foley, Ala., Troy enters the weekend with a strong 9–3 home record. Just one win against the Mountaineers would secure the program's most home victories since going 14–1 in 2019.

App State (18–10, 11–3 SBC) and Troy will meet for the 24th and 25th times this weekend, with the Trojans holding a narrow one-match lead in the all-time series

. The two programs last met in Boone, N.C., a season ago, splitting the weekend after Troy won the opener in five sets before falling to the Mountaineers in straight sets the following day.

Scouting App State
24th and 25th meeting: Troy leads all-time series 12-11.

App State enters the weekend riding a three-match winning streak after securing second place in the East Division

. The Mountaineers opened conference play 5–0 and dropped just two divisional matches all season.

The Mountaineers bring one of the nation's top offenses to Trojan Arena, leading the conference in total kills (1,469), assists (1,320), and service aces (194) while ranking second, eighth, and 18th in the country, respectively.

Defensively, MeMe Davis has emerged as one of the nation's premier defensive specialists, leading the Sun Belt and ranking 18th nationally in total blocks (250) while sitting fourth in digs (548)

. Meanwhile, Raegan Richardson is one of just 22 players to record a triple-double this season and has added nine double-doubles

.

Major Milestones
Last weekend, second-year setter Madison Marx became the 10th Trojan in program history to reach 1,000 career assists, moving into 10th place on Troy's all-time list

. Meanwhile, Sophie Ocampo is closing in on 500 career kills, sitting at 496 as she looks to eclipse the milestone this weekend inside Trojan Arena.

Triple-Double-Double
In last Thursday's loss to Coastal Carolina, three Trojans recorded double-doubles in the same match for the first time this season — and just the second time in the past two years

. Brooke Forkum posted her first double-double of the year with a team- and season-high 12 kills alongside 12 digs

. Josie Hensley and Madison Marx each tallied their third of the season, with Hensley recording a career-best and team-high 23 assists with 10 digs, while Marx added 21 assists and 12 digs

.

Senior Saturday
Prior to Saturday's match, Troy will honor three seniors: fifth-year transfer outside hitter Sophie Ocampo, five-year middle hitter Ella Broadhead, and fourth-year setter Addison Kersting.

Notables

Ashlynn Axtell (212) joined Kalina Calvillo (248) and Isa Ruether (222) in the 200-kill club on the season.
Kalina Calvillo improved to 12th nationally and remains ahead of the Sun Belt in aces/set with a .56 clip.
Last weekend was a weekend full of firsts, as Josie Hensley recorded her first career kill, Brooke Dawson tallied her first career assist, and Lainey Waser notched her first dig and block.
A sweep this weekend would mark the most regular season wins (15) for Troy since the 2022 season when they posted 17.
