The Owls are looking to cap off the Miami (OH) Invitational Saturday night with a win over host Miami (OH).
The schedule might have saved the best matchup for last, as the team is prepared for its toughest battle of the weekend.
The winner of the match will walk away with the tournament championship. A win would mark the second consecutive tournament title for the Owls.
“I expect them to be the toughest matchup for us,” coach Bakeer Ganes said Wednesday. “They are bigger and more physical than us so I think it’s really going to come down to serve-receive.”
The offense is also looking to maintain the pace it set Friday night against Chicago State.
The Red Hawks entered the tournament 2-6 before defeating Indiana State Friday night 3-2 and sweeping Chicago State in straight sets Saturday morning.
Game time is set for 7:30 p.m.
