The Volleybees (13-5/4-2) look to extend their 3-match winning streak at O'Keefe this weekend as they host 2 struggling teams. Let's take a look...

Friday vs Boston College, 7pm, streamed live via ACC Network Extra
The Eagles (5-11/0-6) have obviously struggled in ACC play and are now on an 8-game losing streak. They did take the #9 Cheaters to 5 sets, so Tech needs to assure we bring our "A game" and not overlook these hungry-for-a-win gals from BC. Tech has dominated this series, 20-2. BC won a couple of matches in the mid 90's, but it's been all Tech before and after that. Tech currently owns a 17-match winning streak against BC. Tech won both matches last season...3-1 at Chestnut Hill and 3-2 at O'Keefe. Take care of business, Volleybees!

Sunday vs Syracuse, 1pm, streamed liva via ACC Network Extra
The Orange (4-12/3-3) got off to a terrible non-conference start to the season as they lost their first 5 matches and stood at 1-9 prior to ACC play. However, they've been playing much better of late. They just defeated the Canes in Coral Gables a couple of weeks ago, 3-1. Their last match saw them defeat Louisville at home, 3-2. They very well could be on a 2-match winning streak when they arrive at O'Keefe as they visit Clemson (5-14/0-7) on Friday evening. Syracuse won the only meeting a season ago in Upstate NY, 3-2. The Orange leads the all-time series, 3-2. The home team has won all 5 matches so far...here's hoping that stays the same this weekend.

GO VOLLEYBEES!!
 
Jackets take Set #3... 25-20. Tech up 2-1 heading to what I hope is the final Set #4.
 
Tech gets the weekend off right with a 3-1 win over BC for the Volleybees' 4th consecutive win. Hopefully, the Foosball Jackets get it done on Grant Field tomorrow and then the VBees come back to O'Keefe and finish off a sweep of a weekend at home.

In South Bend tonight, the last 2 undefeated records in ACC play are facing off as the Cheaters are battling the Irish (both 6-0). They are now tied 2-2 as ND just finished off a Set #4 win. Heading to the 5th and deciding set. Good stuff streaming live via ACCNE right now from Michiana. Go Irish!

(Cheaters pull out the 5th set, 15-13, for the win)
