Three Things to Know
1. On The Road Again
The Golden Suns have yet to play a home match, meaning they play their first 13 games of the season on the road. Tech will finally be back in Tucker Coliseum after this weekend, for their home opener against Southern Arkansas at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
2. Thrice as Nice
The Golden Suns are riding a three-game winning streak after impressive showings last weekend and in a sweep against Harding. It marked the first time Harding has been swept in GAC play at home in three seasons.
3. Ma(dig)son Grantham
Going into last weekend, sophomore libero
Madison Grantham needed 16 digs to surpass 300 for her career. She blew past that, posting 55 digs on the weekend and averaging over 13 per match and now has 339 as a Golden Sun.
