LORETTO, Pa. (Feb. 19, 2010) - The Red Flash men's volleyball team will face a pair of crucial tests this weekend as they continue their five-match homestand with matches against IPFW and Ball State on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

The matches do not carry any tangible value in the standings, but according to head coach Mike Rumbaugh, the meaning of these matches lies between the ears of his players.

"It's crucial because we need to get ourselves back into a winning mindset," said Rumbaugh.  "Things have been rocky lately, so we could use a few wins to get ourselves on track."

There will be live stats for tonight's match against IPFW (7:30 p.m.), as well as for tomorrow night's match against Ball State (7 or 7:30 p.m., pending the finish of the men's basketball game).  There will be live video feeds for both IPFW and Ball State as well.
