2. Scouting Report
UCA: UCA is 10-7 and 2-2 in league play this season ... the Bears have won and lost matches in stretches this season ... UCA opened the year with a sweep of the Dr. Mary Jo Wynn Invtiational at Missouri State, defeating Tennessee Tech, Oral Roberts and Missouri State ... from there, they ran into a very tough tourney in Houston, dropping a trio of matches to Houston, Oregon State and Alabama ... UCA serves the ball well, having posted 92 aces on the year, permitting only 73 ... the defensive effort has been distributed primarily across four
different student-athletes ... Caylan Koons, Alexis McDaniel, Alexis Stumbough and Leigh Maher all have at least 115 digs ... Caylan Coons was named ASUN Freshman and Setter of the Week last week, while Alexis Stumbough was named Player of the Week. UNA: UNA is having a strong season in year one under the tutelage of head coach Tristan Johnson ... the number standing out above all other numbers is their opponents’ hitting percentage, which sits at an anemic .138 ... UNA’s opponents hitting percentage is the best in the league and fourth-best in the NCAA ... UNA is posting the 12th-most digs/ set in the nation at 16.72 ... UNA blanked EKU, but has dropped decisions to Bellarmine, Jacksonville State and Kennesaw State ... the Lions rely heavily on Taylor Floyd and Anna Katherine Griggs, who combined have totaled over 300 kills on the year ... UNA will use three different setters.
