The Maverick volleyball team plays #7 Central Missouri later tonight in a Dig Pink promotional night in honor of October being Breast Cancer Awareness month. The team will be selling pink t-shirts and pink volleyballs.
There will also be a silent auction for the pink jerseys the team will be wearing during the match. You have to hope that the cause at hand will inspire the Mavs towards victory. Though they were close the last time out against # 10 Truman (losing 3-2), they've had a rough go of it ever since conference play started.
UNO has been swept in two of the last three matches and only have a 2-7 conference record. Not all of that is due to performance however. Junior middle blocker Lizzy Mach was lost for the season due to an ACL tear and Emily Myers has been slowed with injury as well.
There have been times that the Mavs have had to play with their lineup consisting of three or more freshman. This is not to make excuses but the Mavs can't seem to get a break.
By no means is their record any indication of how good of a team they are. Yet, if they don't start finding their winning ways soon, a NCAA tournament spot might not be in the cards.
