MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University volleyball team squares off with Big 12 foe TCU on Wednesday, Nov. 14. First serve is set for 6 p.m. at the WVU Coliseum.
Wednesday's match is Faculty and Staff Appreciation Night, and all WVU faculty and staff will receive free admission with a WVU ID.
Fans can purchase tickets by visiting WVUGAME.com, calling 1-800-WVUGAME or at the Mountaineer Ticket Office, located at the Gold Gate of the WVU Coliseum. All tickets are general admission.
When purchasing online, tickets are $5 each and $3 for groups of 10 or more. At the WVU Coliseum ticket window, tickets will be $7 for adults, $5 for youth and seniors and $3 for groups. The discounted online pricing will be available until first serve on game day. Fans are encouraged to order tickets in advance online at WVUGAME.com to avoid lines at the gate.

"TCU is playing well," fourth-year coach Reed Sunahara said. "We expect a great match. They are going to come out strong, and so are we. We need to start strong and finish strong, and hopefully, that can happen."
The Mountaineers (11-15, 2-10) and the Horned Frogs (13-11, 5-8) will meet for the 15th time overall on Wednesday and the 14th time in league play since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2012. The two squads met once as nonconference opponents back in 2009, with TCU claiming the 3-0 win at a neutral site. The Horned Frogs own a 10-4 lead in the all-time series, though, the two teams have split the home-and-away series the last two seasons. In its most recent meeting, TCU captured a five-set win on Oct. 18, in Fort Worth, Texas.
Of note, WVU sports a 4-2 record at home against TCU. The Mountaineers are currently 8-5 at the WVU Coliseum this season and is 320-244 at home all-time.
In its last competition, West Virginia suffered a 3-1 loss to Big 12 foe Iowa State on Saturday, at the Hilton Coliseum, in Ames, Iowa. The Cyclones took the match from the Mountaineers in set scores of 25-20, 23-25, 25-22 and 25-15. Junior outside hitter Katelyn Evans had a team-best 13 kills for WVU. Freshman setter Lacey Zerwas also collected her fourth double-double of the season, recording 13 digs and 37 assists on the evening. WVU finished the match hitting .107 with 48 kills and eight team blocks.
Sophomore middle blocker Katie DeMeo currently ranks fourth in the Big 12 Conference in blocks per set, totaling 110 on the season to average 1.34 per set. The Troy, Ohio, native also ranks 27th among all NCAA Division I players in blocks per set. DeMeo is on pace to etch her name in the WVU single-season record book. Her blocks per set average would rank No. 3 all-time by a Mountaineer sophomore and tie for eighth overall in a single season in program history. Additionally, she boasts 110 blocks on the year, 14 shy of moving into the top-four all-time by a sophomore.
Evans has played in all but one set for the Mountaineers this season. She leads the team with 314 kills, averaging 3.24 per set to rank eighth in the Big 12. The Palmdale, California, native has recorded double-digit kills in 18 matches, including 14 of the last 17.
Zerwas leads the team with 751 assists, averaging 9.16 per set to rank eighth in the Big 12. Her assists per set average would rank No. 4 all-time by a Mountaineer freshman. She also is 87 assists shy of moving into the top-four all-time by a freshman. Additionally, Zerwas has recorded four double-doubles on the year, totaling 141 digs to rank third on the team.
TCU comes to Morgantown looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss at Oklahoma last Friday. Freshman Elan McCall is back in the lineup, as she put down 18 kills and picked up 17 digs against the Sooners. She currently ranks in the top 10 nationally in points per set (5.24 p/s) and kills per set (4.75 k/s). Defensively, the Horned Frogs have three players that are recording over 3.00 digs per set, with Lexi MacLean leading the way (3.38 d/s), followed by Berklie Baker (3.14 d/s) and McCall (3.10 d/s).
Of note, the Mountaineers are one win away from collecting their 700th win in program history. West Virginia currently holds a 699-738 all-time record since its inaugural season in 1974.
Looking ahead, West Virginia will cap its regular-season home slate with a Big 12 match against Oklahoma (15-10, 7-6) on Saturday, Nov. 17, at 1 p.m. It is Mountaineer Kids Club Day, and fans will have an opportunity to receive the Mountaineers' autographs one last time following the match.
