LITTLE ROCK – Looking for its first win over Arkansas State since 2014, Little Rock volleyball (6-12, 2-4 Sun Belt) will travel to Jonesboro take on the Red Wolves (10-9, 3-3 Sun Belt) on Monday at 6:30 p.m., at the Convocation Center. The match will air live on ESPN3/WatchESPN.
 
The Trojans last victory over the Red Wolves occurred in the final regular-season match of 2014 as Little Rock swept Arkansas State to earn a perfect 20-0 record in Sun Belt play. In that match, head coach Van Compton became the Sun Belt's all-time winningest coach with her 215th conference victory. In the Division I-era, Little Rock is 19-38 against Arkansas State and has an 8-21 record when playing in Jonesboro.
