UAH Hosts West Alabama For Conference Tilt

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The UAH volleyball team continues conference play as it hosts West Alabama Tuesday night with action starting at 7:00 p.m. Coming off an impressive 3-1 victory against West Georgia on Saturday, the Lady Chargers are now 5-9 for the season with a 1-1 mark in the Gulf South Conference.

Jessica Ruple and Kelsey Williams are the leading offensive players for the Blue and White. Ruple has 166 kills, averaging 3.02 kills a set. Williams's numbers are just as impressive averaging 2.52 kills a set, with 136 kills. Kelly Wilson leads the team in assists, having 444 assists this season and averaging 9.25 assists a game.

Kaeli McCaghren is UAH's leading defender with 155 digs so far this season, while Kelsey Williams and Angela Thurmond pace the squad with 33 blocks a piece.

The Lady Chargers are looking for revenge as a late-season loss to UWA a year ago dealt a blow to UAH's postseason hopes. After splitting the two matches last year, the Lady Chargers own a 31-20 advantage in the all-time series with the Tigers.

Coming off a victory against Valdosta State last Saturday the Tigers are hoping to extend a five-game winning streak. The Tigers have an exceptional mark of 11-3 for the season and are 2-0 in the Gulf South Conference.

Angela Saunders and Chanel Davis are UWA's leading scorers. Saunders has 173 kills and Davis tacks on another 120 kills, so far this season. Both Saunders and Davis together average 5.98 kills per set. Alexis McHale leads the Tigers with 538 assists, while Casey Byrnes boasts 185 digs, making her UWA's defensive leader.
