PEORIA, Ill. -- After playing seven of the last 10 matches at Renaissance Coliseum, Bradley Volleyball kicks off a season-long, four-match road swing this weekend with contests at Missouri State (Friday) and at Southern Illinois (Saturday) to open a stretch in which the Braves play six of eight away from home.
Bradley finds itself tied with Evansville for fourth in the MVC standings heading into Friday's 6 p.m. match against Missouri State (5-18 overall, 2-7 MVC) in Springfield, Mo. The Braves topped the Bears in four sets in the season's first meeting and have won three consecutive meetings with Missouri State for the first time in the series of the history.
