BRIEFLY: SOUTHEAST VOLLEYBALL HAS BIG MATCH TONIGHT

Southeast Missouri State University's four-time defending Ohio Valley Conference championship volleyball team will face one of its biggest tests of the season tonight.

The Otahkians will square off with preseason OVC favorite Eastern Illinois in a 7 p.m. match at Houck Field House.

Southeast, which is 13-4 overall and 5-0 in OVC play, is riding a 33-match regular-season conference winning streak.

EIU, picked to finish just ahead of Southeast in the preseason OVC poll, is 9-7 overall but just 2-2 in league play.
