HOWARD
 
HU (2-6, 1-5 MEAC) looks to get back in the win column and make a late season push. With the regular season dwindling, Howard seeks to make a charge for one of the top spots in the MEAC Northern Division.
 
Sophomore Tamar Wells (Apopka, Fla.) and Kayla Diaz (Nanuet, N.Y.) spearhead the young Bison, ranking among the league leaders in multiple categories.
 
DELAWARE STATE
 
DSU (4-2, 0-1 MEAC) seeks its first MEAC win of the season after dropping the league opener at Coppin State in straight sets Monday (March 8). Delaware State enters the weekend leading the conference in blocks per set (2.05).
 
Valeria Otero and Mayah Ngundam leads the Lady Hornets in kills, posting 3.21 and 2.21 kills per set, respectively.
 
LAST TIMEOUT
 
On March 8, Howard came up short against rival Morgan State, falling to the Lady Bears in five sets (15-25, 25-17, 14-25, 26-24, 10-15) at Hill Field House. Three Bison reached double-digit kills, led by Wells with a team-best 13.
