INDIANAPOLIS – IUPUI enters the final weekend of the regular season with a 15-14 record and takes on two of the teams currently slotted to play in the Summit League Tournament in Oakland and IPFW. The Jags first take on the Golden Grizzlies at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, before concluding the conference slate at IPFW on Saturday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m.

IUPUI still has a shot to advance to the Summit League Tournament needing to post wins in both matches this weekend coupled with two losses to Oakland in order to secure the No. 4 seed. One win by Oakland this weekend guarantees the No. 4 seed to the Golden Grizzlies.

LAST TIME OUT
Alexis Meeks dished out 30 assists, tallied 11 digs and tied a career high with six kills leading the Jags to a 3-0 (25-19, 25-20, 25-19) win over in-state foe Indiana State.
 
Moriah Fair led the team with 12 kills and hit .250, but two more single-season records fell for the Jaguars.
 
Shari Bernhardt posted a match-best 25 digs becoming IUPUI’s single-season digs leader running her season total to 633. The previous record was 612 set by Erin Jones in 2005 and the 25-dig effort by Bernhardt was her fifth-straight 20-plus dig performance.
 
Like she has done all season, Bethany Fogler led the team with four total blocks, which included a solo block moving her into the No. 1 spot alone on IUPUI’s single-season solo blocks chart. Fogler has 21 solo blocks on the season.
