LOOKING AT ANGELO STATE
- LCU and Angelo State are meeting for the 33^rd time all-time. ASU won the previous regular season meeting (non-conference) this season (3-1 on Sept. 10) to place the all-time series record to 23-9 against LCU. ASU, who had a nine-match win streak from 1980, has won the prior six meetings. Seventeen (17) meetings have been played in San Angelo, where LCU is 5-12 (LCU has won five of the last 10 in San Angelo).

- ASU, who went 24-5 last season (going 16-1 in LSC play), had their season end in the NCAA Division II South Central Regionals. This season, the Belles enter the contest 9-9 on the season and have a 5-1 conference record (tied for third in the standings). They are preseason picked second in the LSC this season.

- The Belles posted a season-high 16 blocks against LCU in the previous meeting this season (UTEP transfer Marina Sanchez with 13) and they rank seventh in the LSC (35^th nationally) with 144 team blocks.

- Hannah Kinnison, a University of San Francisco transfer, leads the Belles with 143 kills on the season. ASU received much of their production in the prior meeting from Sam Houston State transfer Sam Rodgers (15) and Kaila Garnett (13), who combined for 28 kills against the Lady Chaps.

- Six of ASU's nine wins this season have come at home, where the Belles are 6-3 on the season. They are riding a three-match home win streak, which began with their 3-1 win over LCU.
