Wyoming is coming off its first victory of 2019 in its home opener Monday against LIU. KC McMahon led the Pokes with a season-high 14 kills while Jackie McBride added nine and Hailey Zuroske chipped in eight. Overall McBride has 30 kills, hitting .421 on the year.

College of Charleston is 0-2 on the season but those defeats came at to No. 1 ranked Stanford and Michigan State last weekend. Lauren Freed is the only Cougar with double-digit kills so far in 2019 with 12 while Logan Manusky leads the squad with 16 digs.
