LIVINGSTON, Ala. — After registering three wins this past weekend at the University of Montevallo Coca-Cola Classic, the University of West Alabama volleyball team will travel to Florence, Ala. on Tuesday for a crucial match with the University of North Alabama.  Match time is slated for 7 p.m. at UNA’s Flowers Hall.

With Gulf South Conference Tournament implications on the line, UWA needs a win or a loss by Montevallo and Alabama-Huntsville to clinch a spot in the 8-team field.  The last time the Red and White Tigers earned a berth in the post season event was the 2001 season.  The 2007 tournament is slated to be held at the GSC Western Division winner.

UWA will be gunning for a season sweep of the Lions after claiming a 3-0 sweep of the Purple and Gold at Pruitt Hall in September.  The win snapped a 23-match losing streak to the Lions.  UWA placed three players in double figures in kills with junior Allison Nail posting a team-high 16 kills.  Senior Rafaella Maranhao and Ana Gabriela Pedrosa each recorded 12 kills in the victory.

The Tigers claimed wins over Martin Methodist, Armstrong Atlantic State and Lincoln Memorial this past weekend at the UM event.  The lone setback of the weekend was a loss to Lynn University in the opener on Friday night.  UNA (15-11, 6-2 GSC) participated in the tournament on Friday, topping Clark Atlanta and falling to Lynn in a five-set marathon. In their last outing, the Lions downed Christian Brothers on Saturday.

UWA returns to the home floor on Thursday, Oct. 18 against Alabama Huntsville at 7 p.m. at Pruitt Hall.
