THIBODAUX, La. – The Nicholls State University volleyball squad hosts Mississippi Valley State University in its home opener Tuesday at Stopher Gym. First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.

The Colonels (1-8) and Devilettes (1-8) squared off earlier this season on Sept. 2 at the Sawyer Camillo Memorial Volleyball Classic. Nicholls reigned victorious in a four-setter that saw junior Brieanna Hill touch a new career high with 18 kills. Hill and senior outside hitter Stephanie Tobison (10 kills, 18 digs) each recorded a double-double in the contest.

The Colonels have outscored MVSU 15-1 in five matches dating back to 1993.  

Senior Emily Weimer earned All-Tournament honors at the Allstate Sugar Bowl Volleyball Classic, racking up 19 kills at a .447 attacking percentage. Freshman Imanie Williams tallied a team-high 25 kills despite starting just one match.

The Devilettes are looking to break a four-game losing skid, picking up their lone win this season against Crowley's Ridge College in straight sets. MVSU will lean heavily on All-SWAC outside hitter Kalin Barnes, who tops the league with 10.4 attacks per set.
