Know Your Foe
Northern Kentucky is 11-6 with a perfect 6-0 mark in Horizon League play. The Norse took care of Milwaukee and Northern Illinois twice, and Cleveland State and Oakland once. Their non-league slate was highlighted by a 3-1 win over Notre Dame. Abby Pickard is pacing NKU with 10.64 assists per set, while Ivey Stocks, Sydney Bray, Ava Hoying and Luci Heid all average over 2.00 kills per set.
Series History
NKU leads the all-time series 28-25 in one of the longest-standing rivalries in Mastodon history. The series dates back to 1982, which saw the two teams meet every season until the 'Dons went Division I in 2001. Once NKU did the same in 2015, the matchups reignited. NKU took both matches last year, but PFW did the same in 2024.
