The Redhawks have won five out of the last six matchups with two being sweeps.

Saint Louis
The Billikins lead the all-time series against the Redhawks 25-18, and they come into the match on a two-match winning streak. Last Season the Billikins defeated the Redhawks in five sets and the series dates back to 1977.

Missouri State
