These are two matches that the Shockers should win and must win.
That said Evansville gave us a huge scare last year in Evansville with Shocks coming from behind to win a tough 5-set match 25-12, 22-25, 21-25, 25-17 and 15-12.
We beat SIU in Carbondale in 4 sets last year by scores of 25-18, 19-25, 25-17 and 25-14
Emily Adney had 44 kills in those two matches last year so expect EU and SIU to be focusing on Emily. Fortunately the Shocks have plenty of other weapons. Hopefully, Slammin' Sammie is on her game and will introduce herself to the Aces and the Salukis.
The Shocks are currently leading the Valley in hitting percentage in conference-only matches with a .321 hitting percentage. Individually, sophomore Ashley Andrade leads the Valley in hitting percentage at .429.
Hoop is moving up the Shocker record books in career assists. She now has 4,242 career assists and needs 72 more to move into second place. MEH gets about 10 assists per set. She could possibly move into 2nd on the career assist list this weekend. If not, it will come agaisnt MSU next week.
