WKU welcomes Kennesaw State to Bowling Green for two Conference USA matches, beginning Friday, Oct. 23. The Hilltoppers enter the weekend on a nine-match winning streak and will pair Friday’s match with a fundraiser for Hope for Harlie and Friends of Jaclyn.

By the Numbers
  • WKU: 14-6 overall, 8-0 in CUSA, and riding a nine-match winning streak.
  • Kennesaw State: 9-11 overall and 3-5 in conference play.
  • Match times: Friday at 6 p.m. CT and Saturday at 1 p.m. CT.
  • WKU has won all five previous meetings, each in straight sets.
Yes, But

Kennesaw State has a losing record but showed it can push opponents, taking both matches against Missouri State to five sets last weekend. WKU, meanwhile, has been dominant in conference play and has swept its last two matches.

State of Play
  • Friday is Hope for Harlie/Friends of Jaclyn Night, with donations, an online auction, and a call for fans to wear pink.
  • Saturday is Fan Appreciation Day, featuring raffles and other activities.
  • WKU is ranked No. 21 in the Oct. 18 NCAA RPI and ranks among the nation’s top 10 in hitting percentage and service-ace measures.
What's Next

WKU will look to extend its winning streak and protect its unbeaten conference record across the two-match series. Bowling Green will also host the 2026 CUSA Volleyball Tournament, Nov. 20-22.

Bottom Line

WKU enters as the clear favorite, but the weekend is also an opportunity for fans to support local causes and celebrate the program at home.
