JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 14, 2009) - The ETSU volleyball team is set to host in-state rival Chattanooga Tuesday at 7p.m. in Brooks Gym.

Tuesday's contest is a rematch of the season opener for the Bucs (3-6, 2-1 A-Sun) as they fell to the Lady Mocs 3-1 at the Comfort Inn and Suites Tournament in Morehead, Ky. ETSU split a pair of matches this past weekend sweeping Stetson, while dropping a match to FGCU, 3-0. The Bucs are led by senior setter Amanda Youell (Middleburg, Fla.) and junior outside hitter Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.).

The all-time series between ETSU and UTC is tied at 26-all, with the Bucs having won three of the last five meetings between the two teams.

Chattanooga (4-3, 0-0 SoCon) is coming off of a 3-0 loss to Loyola (Ill.) after defeating SIU Edwardsville 3-1 this past weekend. The Lady Mocs are led by junior middle blocker Courtney Barnes and freshman libero Paula Passmore.
