Breylan Fairley accumulated a program-record 59 assists - the most in the MEAC this season – to win her second straight MEAC weekly honor. The NCCU freshman earned conference setter of the week on Monday after winning rookie of the week on Sept. 21.

NCCU is seeking its sixth straight home win over Morgan State. The Eagles have won eight of the last 10 meetings including a 3-2 triumph at home last season.

The Eagles will seek their second straight win over Coppin State after stunning the defending MEAC champion 3-1 at home last year, handing Coppin State its only conference loss of the season. The victory snapped the Eagles' eight-match losing streak in the series.

Morgan State (1-1 MEAC, 2-12 overall) enters Friday after dropping a four-set match to Howard at home and defeating Norfolk State on the road in four sets this past weekend. Jada Williams tallied 15 kills, 10 digs and three blocks while Michaela Panekova added eight kills and 13 digs in the victory over Norfolk State.

Coppin State (2-0 MEAC, 11-5 overall) has won a record-tying 10 consecutive matches including three-set road wins over Howard and Norfolk State. The defending MEAC champion was led by conference player of the week Deviana Walker, who finished with 15 kills versus Norfolk State and nine kills against Howard.

Kayden Cupid, a former NCCU player, totaled six blocks in a five-set non-conference home win over Loyola (Md.) on Sunday. Coppin State leads the MEAC in kills, points, hitting percentage and assists.

This weekend features the MEAC's top three setters in Fairley of NCCU, Eva Rovello of Coppin State and Isabelle Brown of Morgan State. Coppin State libero Coco Figueroa, the league preseason player of the year, will also be in action.
