We're 9-19 on the season and 8-9 in the OVC going into the last game against EIU later today. For the curious:
The last time we had 8 or more wins in the conference was 2007 when we went 15-16 overall and 11-5 in the Mid-Con.
The last time we had 9 or more total wins was a decade ago (2013) when we went 12-18 overall but only 6-8 in the Summit League.

I did not see the match last night but watched the one on Wednesday.  We lost last night in a tight 5 set match.  Even in losing, I hope the ladies gained some confidence and came away with a feeling that they can compete with any team in the OVC right now.  Good things to come.  

So, we take on #2 seed SEMO on Monday at 4 PM. It'll be aired on ESPN+ and is a single-elimination bracket.

We lost both of our games against SEMO earlier in the season, 2-3 and 1-3 (so they weren't complete shut-outs), and both of those were at their place. This tournament will be hosted at EIU.

#2 Southeast Missouri State won the match in 5 sets.

Western won the first and third sets:  25-23 and 25-23.

SEMO won the second and fourth sets:  25-19 and 25-19.

SEMO won the 5th set 15-10.

Attendance = 215
