DURHAM, N.C. — The North Carolina Central University volleyball team will honor outside hitter Kennedy White (Raleigh, N.C.) and defensive specialist Jessica Pilivi (West Jordan, Utah) before Friday's Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) home match against Florida A&M University as the Lady Eagles celebrate Senior Night.
 
Fans are encouraged to arrive to McDougald-McLendon Arena early for the pre-match Senior Night ceremony that will take place just before the match. First serve between the Lady Eagles and Rattlers is scheduled for 6 p.m. Admission is free.
