The Zips are on a 7 game win streak after winning the Colgate Invitational, then blowing out both BG and Miami 3-0 (25-12 in set 3 against Fiami). They are lead by Courtney Jarvis, currently 4th in kills in the MAC.

OHIO is coming off a huge 5 set win at Central Michigan, playing in a barn in front of a wild crowd,  the largest attendance in the Chips history.

'Kron is 10-4 but no significant wins in a relatively weak OOC schedule. They are one of the rising teams in the MAC and will be pumped for this one, but If the Cats come to play and play their A game, they will roll.

The winner takes sole possession of 1st in the MAC East.

Cats take the second, 25-18.  Sounds like Lou is announcing from deep in a whole. Is this normal for the online feeds?

Roo's 25-20 in the 4th...I like Ryan, but he needs to know when to stop the bleeding before it gets too far out of hand. We also need to stop trying to block every single attack. If they are far enough back, we don't necessarily need to jump with 2 blockers.

One thing to look for regardless the result of this match, the quality of digs that Akron's libero was able to save. Not much hit the ground within her reach.
