Volleyball Hosts Illinois St. Friday During Homecoming Weekend

PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Volleyball returns to Renaissance Coliseum for Homecoming Weekend, hosting I-74 rival Illinois State Friday in a 6 p.m. contest as the Braves wrap up a stretch of five of six matches at home with the outing against the Redbirds.

Friday's match will be a "White Out" with fans encouraged to wear white to the first meeting of the 2019 season in the I-74 rivalry. The first 100 Bradley Students at Renaissance Coliseum will receive a free Bradley Volleyball t-shirt courtesy of Ideal Rentals.

The Braves (6-8 overall, 2-1 MVC) and Redbirds (9-6 overall, 2-1 MVC) split the regular-season series last year with Bradley sweeping Illinois State at Renaissance Coliseum to close out the regular season and snap a 15-match losing streak in the series.
