Owls and Hornets, Oh My
- The Barons are 2-1 all-time against Kenyon in a series that dates back to 2018. Last season, the Barons beat the Owls 3-1 at their place. Mary Jean Cadmann had 17 kills, and Kaitlan Hickey had five aces in that win.
- Kenyon is in search of their first win of the season, as they have just won one set in four matches through a tough, non-conference slate. 
- This will be the first time that Franciscan has played Kalamazoo. They also played at the Great Lakes Crossover last weekend. They were swept by a pair of PAC schools in Hiram and Washington & Jefferson on Friday, but then swept Oberlin and Worcester State on Saturday to hold a 2-2 record.
