SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA volleyball team will look to extend its six-match winning streak this weekend when they head east for a pair of road contests. The Roadrunners (9-7, 5-0 C-USA) will take on Louisiana Tech at 7 p.m. on Friday before heading to UAB two days later for a noon matchup.
UTSA, which enters the weekend tied atop the Conference USA standings with Western Kentucky, is hitting .220 while opponents are managing a .191 attack percentage against the Roadrunners this fall. While ranking in the top five in most of the league's statistical categories, UTSA leads the circuit in digs (16.60), which ranks 28th in the nation, and Annie Kunes’ conference-leading 4.83 digs per set is 35th in the NCAA.
Dajana Boskovic is averaging 4.21 kills per set and the sophomore outside hitter is second on the squad with 177 winners despite missing four matches early in the season.
Kylie Schott, one of three players to have played all 63 sets, is hitting a team-best .403 to go along with a squad-leading 56 blocks and she also is second in service aces (13).
UTSA has won six of its seven all-time meetings with Louisiana Tech (7-11, 0-5 C-USA), including victories in the last five matchups.
UAB (4-15, 1-3 C-USA) will face UTEP before hosting the Roadrunners on Sunday.
