UNI volleyball

Where: At Bowling Green Invitational

Today: 3:30 p.m., UNI (7-2) vs. Robert Morris (3-5)

Saturday: 11:30 a.m., UNI vs. Bowling Green (6-1); 3:30 p.m. UNI vs. UW-Green Bay (1-5)

Location: Anderson Arena, Bowling Green, Ohio

Series: UNI defeated UW-Green Bay in their only meeting 21 years ago and lost to Bowling Green in their lone meeting 20 years ago. This will be the Panthers' first time playing Robert Morris.

Last time out: UNI swept Western Illinois on Wednesday. Bowling Green went 2-1 with wins over Texas Tech and Southeastern Louisiana Saturday in New Orleans. UW-Green Bay lost to Iowa but defeated South Dakota State on Saturday. Robert Morris went 0-3 last weekend at No. 1-rated Penn State's Invitational.

Notes: This weekend's tournament at Bowling Green is a part of a stretch during which UNI will play eight of its next 10 matches on the road. It will be UNI's third preseason tournament before beginning conference play next weekend at Drake and Creighton. … UNI will be playing this weekend without starting outside hitter Amy Braun, a freshman who will be attending her sister's wedding. Kali Karsten of Cedar Falls and New Hampton native Megan Lehman will look to fill that void. Both players saw court time during Wednesday's win over Western Illinois. Karsten started the match and finished with four kills, while Lehman recorded five kills in the third set.

UNI coach Bobbi Petersen: "It'll be a tough tournament. Bowling Green is picked second in their conference next to Ohio (which UNI defeated in five sets last weekend). Knowing that they have that capability to contend with Ohio for that conference championship, you know how strong they are."
