Volleyball Hosts Gamecocks; Celebrates Seniors Saturday

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Southeast Missouri will finish the 2015 regular season Saturday when they host Jacksonville State at 2 p.m. from Houck Field House. 

The Redhawks will honor seniors Taylor Masterson and Haley Roberts prior the match. Saturday's match will be streamed for free to the OVC Digital Network.

After falling to UT Martin on Tuesday, the Redhawks currently sit at 10-18 overall this season. Southeast will enter Saturday's match with a 6-9 Ohio Valley Conference record.

Scouting the Gamecocks
Jacksonville State fell to Belmont before defeating Tennessee State last week. Sophomore Jennifer Hart dished out 70 assists over the two matches to give her 1,031 for the season. She became just the third Gamecock to ever record multiple 1,000-assist seasons. After falling to Tennessee Tech on Tuesday, JSU now sits at 4-11 in conference play. The Gamecocks will enter Saturday's match 14-20 on the season. This will be the first encounter between Southeast and JSU this season. 

Looking Ahead: OVC Tournament
The OVC Tournament is set to take place in Murray, Kentucky Nov. 19-20. The outcome of Southeast's match as well as others will play a role in which see the Redhawks will secure. The top eight teams in the league earn the right to play in the postseason tournament. 
 
Standings prior to Nov. 13 matches:
1) Murray State (14-1); regular season champions, win right to host OVC Tournament
2) Belmont (11-4)
3) Eastern Illinois (11-4)
4) Eastern Kentucky (9-6)
5) Tennessee State (9-6)
6) Morehead State (7-8)
7) Tennessee Tech (6-9)
8) Southeast Missouri (6-9)
9) UT Martin (5-10)
 
A Redhawks win on Saturday means entry into the OVC Tournament with a 7-9 record. If Tennessee Tech, Southeast, and Morehead State all finish at 7-9, they will take the six, seven and eight seeds respectively.
 
A loss on Saturday would require TTU to defeat UT Martin as both teams own tiebreakers over Southeast. Tennessee Tech and UT Martin play Friday evening in Martin, Tennessee.
