LIVINGSTON, Ala. - West Alabama (2-22, 0-14 GSC) will embark on a challenging road trip, facing Lee University on Friday, November 1, at 5 p.m. in Cleveland, Tennessee, before heading to Nashville to take on Trevecca Nazarene University on Saturday, November 2, at 1 p.m.

These matchups present the Tigers with the opportunity to sharpen their skills against two competitive opponents.

Lee University (14-12, 8-6 GSC) boasts a potent offensive game, highlighted by their 12.4 kills per set and .223 hitting percentage. Lee's efficiency is contrasted with West Alabama's .064 hitting percentage, as the Tigers have faced challenges in minimizing attacking errors, averaging 6.8 per set compared to Lee's 4.9.

Key contributors like Jaida Alvin, who leads West Alabama with 168 kills, and setter Taylor Lamontagne, with an impressive 5.42 assists per set, will need to execute at a high level against Lee's solid blockers. Defensively, the Tigers will look to dig leaders like Maggie Roddam, who averages 2.92 digs per set, to keep Lee's top scorer, Sara Palumbo (3.24 kills per set), in check.

The Tigers will then face Trevecca Nazarene (10-15, 7-7 GSC), a team with a balanced attack and solid blocking. Trevecca averages 2.2 blocks per set, and West Alabama's hitters will need to find ways to navigate this formidable front line. Alvin and Peyton Quesnel, who combine for nearly four kills per set, will be crucial in breaking through Trevecca's defensive setup. Defensively, West Alabama aims to limit errors and bolster their reception game, as the Trojans' service aces (1.6 per set) could pose a challenge.

This two-game road trip will test West Alabama's resilience and provide valuable experience as they continue to build their program for future success. First serve on Friday against the Flames is set for 5:00 p.m. while Saturday's matchup against the Trojans is set for 1:00 p.m.
