Three Things to Know

1. Familiar Faces
   Little Rock will face two former Sun Belt Conference foes this weekend when the Trojans battle New Orleans and Louisiana Tech. Little Rock has faced both opponents nearly 30 times each over the years, predominantly in Sun Belt play. While the Trojans haven't faced UNO since 2009, Little Rock opened this season against the Lady Techsters in a 3-0 win.
2. Let's Face It – We're Extra
   Just like in 2020, the Trojans are a little extra. Through nine matches and 31 sets so far this year, Little Rock has pushed the action to extra points five different times with the Maroon and Silver going 3-2 in those sets. That includes the dramatic comeback against Lamar when the Trojans faced set point at 24-21 and rallied to win five straight points and the set, 26-24.
3. Set Them Up
   Setter Alyssa Nayar has been a consistent performer guiding the Little Rock offense and the numbers bear that out. Entering this weekend's play, Nayar is nationally ranked among setters and is among the Sun Belt Conference leaders in assists.
