ASU Volleyball (16-4, 9-0 SBC), winners of 12 straight matches, are on the road Saturday in Atlanta to take on the Ga State Panthers (4-14, 0-8 SBC) in a key Sun Belt match. The Apps, still unbeaten in SBC play, find themselves in perhaps a trap match with a Ga State team on a mission to ambush anybody to get their first Sun Belt win of the season.
ASU remains in solid possession of second place in the league--still chasing the #22 ranked Red Wolves of Arkansas State (20-1, 11-0 SBC). The showdown between those two teams is still two plus weeks away when they will face each other twice in just five days. For maximum drama, both teams need to keep clean sheets until their first meeting on Nov. 8 at HCC. The Apps have to survive the current Georgia road trip and hold the home court until then.
Saturday's match with Ga State is THE match of the year for the Apps--simply because it's the next match on the schedule. It comes against a Panther team seeking its first Sun Belt win of the season. The Apps cannot afford a slip. They should expect a stiff challenge from the Panthers in Saturday's contest.
The match will be available on GSU PantherVision
