Three Things to Know

1. Western Logjam
   Early on this season, there's a logjam in the West Division while the East has flexed its muscles. Five of the six West Division teams split the opening weekend of conference play while three East teams - including South Alabama - swept the first two matches of the year.
2. Trojans vs. Power 5
   Power 5 schools don't want to face the Trojans. That's because the combined Trojans of the Sun Belt - Little Rock and Troy - have teamed up to slay four giants so far this year. Little Rock's Team won a thrilling five-set match at Arkansas on Aug. 28 while Troy has claimed wins over Alabama, LSU and Virginia Tech so far this season. As a league, the Sun Belt has recorded six wins over Power 5 opponents this season.
3. Going for a Milestone Win
   Little Rock's Van Compton - the Sun Belt's All-Time Winningest Head Coach - is on the precipice of yet another milestone. With one more win, Compton will record her 550th career win as head coach of the Trojans. There's no doubt "Queen Comp" is at the top of the class when it comes to coaching. That's quite notable in the challenging Sun Belt as the next winningest coach, Jozsef Foreman of Costal Carolina, has just 251 wins entering this weekend.
