WASHINGTON – GW volleyball will begin its Atlantic 10 quest this weekend, hosting Dayton on Friday at 7 p.m. and Duquesne on Saturday at 5 p.m.Â
LAST TIME OUT:Â GW went 0-3 at the Mountaineer Invitational last weekend, dropping matches to West Virginia, UMBC and Robert Morris.Â
FOR THE RECORD: Averaging 14 digs per match, Bella Bowman is well on pace to break into the program's all-time record book this weekend, needing 31 more digs to reach the milestone. The senior libero has totaled 154 digs across 11 matches this season, including a season-best 28 vs. Georgetown. Bowman's defensive efforts put her fourth overall in the conference. Â
LEADING THE WAY:Â First-year Salem Yohannes continues to be GW's top offensive threat. Yohannes has registered a team-leading 109 kills on the season and has led GW offensively in seven of the team's 11 matches this year. Yohannes sits at No. 8 in the conference, averaging 2.95 kills/set.Â
FREQUENT FLYERS: Dayton won the program's third consecutive A-10 Championship in the spring and made its 15th appearance in the NCAA Tournament. This season, Dayton sits at 6-5 overall. The Flyers are led by Jamie Peterson, who earned back-to-back conference weekly honors after leading UD with 36 kills in the team's most recent pair of victories. Peterson leads the team and the conference with 160 kills this season. Â
DUELING WITH THE DUKES:Â Duquesne is 5-6 overall and will visit George Mason on Friday to open its conference slate. Junior setter Hailey Poling sits atop the conference rankings with 433 assists, averaging 9.84/set. Outsider hitter Morgan Kelly is second in the A-10 with 172 kills at 3.91/set.Â
