Series Notes: The Warriors had won eight straight against Humboldt State until the Lumberjacks took two in 2013. Stanislaus won eight consecutive matches over HSU from 2009 to 2012 … The head to head series is now tied at 11-11 during the CCAA era … Cal State San Bernardino has won 26 straight against the Warriors, dating back to 2000, and holds a 30-2 series advantage since 1998.

Last Time Against the Opponents: Cal State Stanislaus lost 3-1 last Oct. 17 in Arcata, 25-13, 19-25, 25-23, 25-21, in tight sets after the Lumberjacks dominated the first game … Jocelyn Cervantes led the Warriors with 13 kills and Sarah Crowl had 33 digs. In the teams' previous meeting, here in Turlock, HSU won the season finale 3-0 … The Warriors visiting then-No. 13 Cal State San Bernardino on Nov. 2, 2013, in a 3-0 loss (25-17, 25-21, 25-12). Blair Ehrlich had nine kills.

Brutal Road Trip: This trip is the toughest in the CCAA with teams having to travel up and down the state. The Warriors will travel North to Arcata on Wednesday for the Thursday night match. Then, they will use Friday as a travel day to get to Southern California, via plane flight out of Oakland to Ontario, before playing the Coyotes Saturday night. By the time they get home Sunday afternoon, the Warriors will have been gone five days and traveled more than 1,500 miles.

Looking to Break the Streak: The Warriors are looking to win in the Coussoulis Arena for the first time after 16 meetings against the Coyotes. Both wins against CSUSB happened in Turlock (1999 and 2000). Stanislaus is also seeking to end a 26-match losing streak to the national powerhouse.

Against Ranked Teams: Playing against nationally ranked teams is nothing new for the Warriors in the West Region. The Warriors are currently 0-2 in 2014 and have lost 15 consecutive matches against a team ranked in the AVCA Top 25 … The last victory against a ranked opponent was on Sept. 25, 2010, when the Warriors upset No. 21 UC San Diego, 3-1, in Turlock.

Sweet First Victory: It took eight matches but the Warriors captured their first victory on Saturday against Cal State East Bay. Four different Warriors had at least nine kills, as a team the Warriors dug up 63 CSUEB attacks and blocked five shots for a nice team effort.

Saturday's Leaders: Blair Ehrlich had a match-best and season high 16 kills with a career-best attacking percentage of .364 and Lindsay Skadeland had her best match as a Warrior with 13 kills (.281). Jocelyn Cervantes chipped in 11 kills and four total blocks (1 solo) while Paige Walker, who had 15 Friday night, completed her solid weekend with nine more kills … Defensively for Stanisalus, libero Hailey Gruetzmacher recorded 21 digs while setter Rachel Parsons picked up 12 and Walker had nine digs to her credit. Morgan Miller came off the bench to supply the spark late at the net with three assisted blocks.

SSU beat HSU in five on Friday and the Jacks won a four-set match against San Francisco State, which had upset Cal State San Bernardino the night before … Ashley Owen leads Humboldt with 95 kills and 3.28 per game … Kelci Renshaw is currently the CCAA leader in service aces (0.55 per set).

About the Coyotes (6-2, 3-1 CCAA): Cal State San Bernardino was surprised in San Francisco last Friday in a 3-2 loss against the SFSU Gators … CSUSB was ranked No. 7 at the time and in this week's poll, the Coyotes fell just two spots to No. 9 … Tori May leads the CCAA with a .389 attacking percentage and Torline is second with 133 kills … Arielle McCullough averages 4.85 digs per game, which is second best … Brenna McIntosh is the CCAA's top blockers at 1.35 blocks per set.
