The Drake University volleyball team returns home this weekend for a two-match homestand against Missouri Valley Conference rivals.
The homestand begins Friday evening at 6 p.m. against Illinois State and continues Saturday at 5 p.m. when Bradley visits.
The Bulldogs return to the Knapp Center aiming to end their current four-match skid, the program's longest against MVC competition in nearly two seasons. The team recently completed a tough three-match road trip that saw the Bulldogs drop a trio of four-set matches.
Drake is 3-2 at home this season including an MVC win over Indiana State that saw Gillian Gergen record a career-high 11 blocks as Drake had 14 team blocks.
