BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – Just one week after hosting Kansas City and Chicago State on their home court, the Roadrunners are set to face the same two Western Athletic Conference opponent this week. CSU Bakersfield's volleyball team will square off in a pair of rematches on the road this week with the WAC Tournament just three weeks away.

"It is tough playing two teams back-to-back," said Giovana Melo, CSUB's Director of Volleyball. "We are ready for two great matches against both teams again."

The `Runners (12-12, 5-6 WAC) will head to Kansas City to face the Roos (17-8, 8-3 WAC), who are tied for second in the WAC standings. UMKC has won seven of its last ten matches including four straight. Last week in Bakersfield, the Roos knocked off the `Runners 3-1 in the Icardo Center in one of the closest matches CSUB has played this season (30-32, 25-22, 26-28, 19-25).

CSUB will make the trip to Chicago looking to take down the Cougars (8-20, 2-9 WAC) for the second-straight week. Chicago State suffered a 3-0, non-conference loss at Drake on Monday. A week ago, the Cougars came to Bakersfield and rallied to take a game from CSUB in a 3-1 loss.

Thursday's match against UMKC is scheduled for a 7 p.m. (CT) first serve while Saturday's clash in Chicago will kick off at 12 p.m. (CT). The match in Kansas City will be streamed live via the WAC Digital Network. On Saturday, `Runner fans can listen in to the radio call through Chicago State's website. Links for the stream, radio call, and live stats for both matches can be found on the CSUB volleyball schedule page.
