DURHAM, N.C. – The North Carolina Central volleyball team looks to extend its 22-match winning streak against South Carolina State when the two teams clash at McDougald-McLendon Arena on Friday at 6 p.m.

The contest will be streamed on the MEAC Network.

The Eagles (2-4 MEAC, 4-13 overall) have dominated the season series in recent years, winning 22 consecutive matches against the Lady Bulldogs, including 11 straight at home. They are 30-9 overall in their head-to-head meetings since 2007. NCCU's last loss to South Carolina State (0-6 MEAC, 4-17 overall) came in 2015, when the Lady Bulldogs swept the home-and-home series.

Since then, the Eagles have been unbeatable in the series with 19 of their 22 wins by 3-0 scores including both matches last season.

Another victory on Friday would snap a three-match losing skid for the Eagles, who are tied for second in the MEAC with a .196 hitting percentage. The Lady Bulldogs rank eighth in the MEAC at .111.
