WKU Volleyball travels to Alabama to take on Jacksonville State after two victories against Missouri State.
During the weekend, Head Coach Travis Hudson became the winningest coach in a single sport in WKU history. Hudson has 817 wins under his belt after last weekend.
Freshman outside hitter Eliza McKnight was named Conference USA Freshman of the Week after her performance throughout the weekend against the Bears. McKnight had 17 kills and two blocks throughout all six sets.
This will be the eighth time the Hilltoppers have faced Jacksonville State. The Hilltoppers have defeated the Gamecocks in every game, including back-to-back sweeps last year.
The Gamecocks face the Hilltoppers with a 3-13 record this year. Jacksonville State was swept by Liberty in back-to-back games last weekend.
“You know, it’s always tough to go down there and win,” Hudson said. “Whether it’s Jacksonville State or New Mexico State or Missouri State or whoever it is, we feel like if we’re a good version of ourselves, we’ll be fine.”
Fans can watch the Hilltoppers on ESPN+ Oct. 9 at 6 p.m.
