About the Lady Chargers
BUILDING MOMENTUM: UAH has rattled off two consecutive wins, knocking off Southern Arkansas 3-0 and Alabama A&M in dramatic fashion 3-2. After starting 0-3 and winning only one set, the Lady Chargers may have found what works.
TWO-SETTER LINEUP: Head Coach Keith Giboney has been deploying a two-setter lineup, with Ashton Baker and Alexis Deal playing at the same time throughout the last eight sets UAH has played. With both playing simultaneously, it has allowed the Blue and White to use attackers Haley Snyder, Olivia Bauman and Kendall Knisley in more effective way.
MILES AWAY: The team will be traveling over 10 hours, one time zone and four states to play in this tournament. UAH was originally scheduled to play four matches, but when a team withdrew, the team was only able to play three. It will be a long drive home if the Lady Chargers don't compete well in the Tar Heel State.
