LAST TIME OUT

• The Red Foxes dropped the Battle for the Hudson River on Tuesday, falling to Army in three sets.

• DeSerpa is close to moving up on the all-time kills list yet again. Just four more kills would move her into sixth place on the list, moving her past Courtney Shaw.
• Nine kills in the next match will give DeSerpa sole possession of fifth place, moving past former teammate Kelsey Ediger.
