After their toughest home stand of the season, BG hits the road Friday for another extended road trip.
BG will head to Buffalo and Akron for meetings with two of MAC East's worst teams. Combined, the two teams have a total of 12 wins, the same as BG in half as many matches.
At 1-3 in the MAC, Akron is coming off a weekend in which they picked up their lone win of the season in Buffalo before falling to Toledo one night later. Despite Akron's early season struggles they have been a good passing team led by junior Kara Smith who is ranked twenty seventh nationally in the NCAA with 10.82 assists a set.
Following a meeting with the Zips, BG will head to upstate New York to meet with the Buffalo Bulls. The Bulls have lost their last four matches and have struggled to get kills at the net while they rank last in the MAC in kills per set.
For BG it could be a milestone weekend for senior Chelsey Meek who is 27 digs away from being the first Falcon in program history to reach the 2,000 mark.
Historically, BG has dominated on the road against both teams, and a two-win weekend would move them back near the top of the MAC East.
