MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Off of a win over Temple that opened home-conference play, the Memphis Tigers (8-6, 1-1) will spend the weekend on the road with matches at Cincinnati (6-4, 1-1) and East Carolina (5-6, 1-1). Friday's 5:30 p.m. match vs. the Bearcats will be available on ESPN+, while Sunday's 11 a.m. matinee vs. the Pirates will be streamed live.
The weekend opens with the matchup against the Bearcats, who began conference play last weekend with a five-set win over USF but were then swept on the road against UCF. The loss to UCF ended Cincinnati's five match winning streak, which included a win at Notre Dame, which received votes in the AVCA Coaches Poll heading into that matchup.
