MAGNOLIA, Ark. – The Southern Arkansas Lady Mulerider Volleyball team is set to begin a four-game home stand that will run through next Tuesday as they welcome in Williams Baptist College for a 6 p.m. non-conference tilt tonight inside the W.T. Watson Center. The Lady Muleriders are coming off a three-set loss to Harding in Searcy. WBC enters Monday's contest having dropped a straight-set road match to William Woods University in their most recent action.

OF NOTE
 

• WBC enters tonight's matchup in the midst of an eight-game road swing that has so far seen the club drop a pair of three-set matches to top-15 NAIA teams.
• The Eagles are 0-1 against the Great American Conference this season having lost a three-set match to Ouachita Baptist earlier in the season. However, WBC has four more dates scheduled with GAC opponents beginning tonight at SAU, while also visiting Arkansas Tech and Harding, before meeting Ouachita Baptist in a neutral site tilt to close out October.
• The Lady Muleriders are 19-0 against non-NCAA teams since becoming a charter member of the Great American Conference in 2011. Last season, SAU defeated Central Baptist College twice and tonight's opponent, WBC, once.
• This is Southern Arkansas' first non-NCAA opponent in 2016.
