KENT, Ohio — The Kent State volleyball team will be in action at the M.A.C. Center on Friday and Saturday as part of an action-packed Homecoming Weekend. The Golden Flashes will play Ball State (12-7, 4-2 MAC) in the annual 'Dig for the Cure' match on Friday at 7 p.m. and return to action for Alumnae Night against Toledo (8-10, 3-3 MAC) at 7 p.m. Saturday.
The pair of Mid-American Conference cross-divisional matches conclude a stretch with five of six matches at home and will mark the halfway-point of the conference schedule. This is a big weekend for teams across the MAC, as they try to begin to separate from a bunched set of conference standings. Only two wins currently separate third and last place.
