OPENING SERVE
Little Rock hits the road to Arkansas State after playing just its third and fourth home game of the 2018 season last week. The match, set for a 6:30 first serve on Oct. 20 at the FNB Arena in Jonesboro, Ark., will be the 60th meeting between the two programs, continuing the longest series in program history.
CONFERENCE GOINGS
The Trojans have put together a 5-3 conference record at the halfway point of Sun Belt play and sit third behind Texas State and UTA in the West Division. Little Rock's team is coming off back-to-back conference sweeps against ULM and Louisiana, the first consecutive straight setters in conference play since 2015.
