A LOOK AT THE MARAUDERS
• Now a member of the PSAC Central, Millersville faces two former PSAC East rivals in Cheyney and West Chester this weekend in Pucillo Gymnasium. The Marauders have won three of the last five and moved into third place in the Central Division.
• Millersville is 5-0 this season when posting a hitting percentage higher than .200, but has failed to hit that mark in all 12 losses. The Marauders are also 4-4 when they record at least 39 assists. Setter Grace Dawson has totaled 40 or more three times this season, including 44 against Kutztown two matches ago. Dawson ranks seventh in the PSAC in assists per set with 8.92.
• Erin Harman has been among the top offensive players in the PSAC. Her 3.64 kills per set rank third in the PSAC. Harman has totaled double-digit kills in 15 of 17 matches and in five consecutive. Her efficiency has increased lately as well. Since her 20-kill performance against Slippery Rock, Harman has posted an attack percentage over .200 in four of the last five matches. Prior to that, she reached that mark five times in the first 12 matches.
• Harman has registered double-digit digs 13 times as well, but freshman libero Katie Laughman is climbing the PSAC leaderboard. She ranks eighth in the league in digs per set and has totaled 10 or more in 16 consecutive matches.
• Laughman isn't the only Marauder freshman making an impact. Haley Butler has started 13 of 17 matches and has tallied at least six kills in each of her last four matches. Butler ranks third on the team in kills with 127. Kara Wirt leads all freshmen in starts with 15 and is second on the team in blocks with 21.

SERIES HISTORY
• Millersville is 42-0 all-time against Cheyney with the series dating back to 1990. Cheyney has not won a set off the Marauders since the first meeting in 1990.
• Millersville won the last meeting by scores of 25-13, 25-10, 25-16. Kelsi Ceriani led the Marauders with 16 kills and a .556 hitting percentage.
• West Chester holds a slight 29-27 lead in the series that started in 1990--Millersville's first season as a program. The Golden Rams won both 2015 meetings in straight sets and have won three in a row overall. The Marauders' last win came by a 3-0 score in 2014.
• In the last meeting between the clubs, Millersville scored no more than 19 points in any of the three sets and Harman led the team with six kills. West Chester hit .260 while Millersville posted a -.029 hitting percentage.

ABOUT CHEYNEY
• Cheyney's two wins have come against Lincoln and Bowie State--both at home. The Wolves are hitting .040 as a team, ranking last in the PSAC. The opponent's hitting percentage of .252 is also last. Chelsea Hutson leads the team with 2.35 kills per set. Bryanna Taylor and Mary Flores share setting duties with 140 and 137 assists respectively.

ABOUT WEST CHESTER
• With a 3-4 PSAC record, West Chester leads the Southeast Division. The Golden Rams took PSAC power Pitt-Johnstown to five sets on Oct. 7 and have not been swept in five losses. The Golden Rams rank third in the PSAC in hitting percentage and assists and lead the league in opponent hitting percentage, holding teams to a mere .092 mark.
• Karleigh Lutz recently became the first Golden Ram since 2011 to win a PSAC athlete of the week award. She ranks eighth in the PSAC in kills per set. Teammate Victoria Cruciani is among the most efficient hitters, ranking fourth in hitting percentage (.308). Cruciani also leads the PSAC in blocks with 72 and is one of only two players averaging more than one per set.
