Postseason History: Lourdes is competing in the WHAC tournament for the third time in program history, having compiled a 2-3 record all-time in the event after the first round win over Marygrove.  Last year the Gray Wolves posted a four-set victory at home over Concordia (Mich.) in the first round before falling in three sets to Davenport in the quarterfinals.  In 2011, Lourdes lost both of its matches in pool play by 3-0 scores to Davenport and Northwestern Ohio.

Looking for Record Win Streak and Win #20: Lourdes has won four straight matches for just the third time in program history and with a win on Friday would match the school's longest winning streak at five, which was accomplished Oct. 10-27, 2012.  The Gray Wolves also are one win shy of 20 for the season, and look to reach that mark for just the second time as well (21-17 in 2010).

Against Ranked Foes: Lourdes is still looking for that elusive first win against a ranked opponent, entering Friday's match 0-11 all-time against NAIA top-25 foes.  The Gray Wolves are 0-3 this year, having dropped matches at Georgetown (Ky.), Madonna, and Davenport.

Climbing the Single Season Charts: As a team Lourdes has set a new school record with 172 blocks this year heading into the conference tournament.  The Gray Wolves also rank second in hitting percentage at .141 (behind 2010, .165).  Lourdes is 68 kills behind second place as a team but just four assists out of second and 37 behind the top spot in that same category.  

Record-Setting Pace: Keyonna Gregory and Stef Comte enter the WHAC quarterfinals atop the school's single season record for hitting percentage.  Gregory enters the week hitting .277 on the year while Comte is connecting at a .248 clip.  The current school mark for hitting percentage with a minimum 100 swings, was .214 set by Brooke Hearn during the 2011 campaign.  

Career Leaders: Ali Mass is the kills record-holder with 710 while Keyonna Gregory's .277 hitting percentage is tops all-time.  Michi Jimenez is the digs record-holder with 888 while Andrea Brown holds the blocking record with 138.  Ali Mass, who has played in the most matches all-time (104) is second with 68 aces while Allegra Recknagel's 1,117 assists also rank second.
