Louisville opened ACC play last weekend with wins over NC State, 3-1 (25-19, 28-26, 20-25, 25-18) and North Carolina, 3-2 (25-20, 22-25, 25-20, 25-27, 15-13). This was the first time since 2015 that the Cardinals have opened conference play with two wins. The weekend trip saw the Cardinals record 30 blocks in the two contests, a weekend series high. Melanie McHenry continues to be the workhorse on offense, bringing her season total to 162 kills. She has also recorded 102 digs, second to Molly Sauer's 213. Megan Sloan shone last weekend. In her first two starts against conference opponents, Sloan helped lead the Cards to a weekend sweep. Â She had 28 kills, 10 blocks over the weekend, hitting a torrid .372 in the five-setter with UNC.Â

The Yellow Jackets (11-4 overall) opened their conference play this past weekend with road losses to Syracuse, 3-0 (14-25, 25-27, 21-25) and Boston College, 3-1 (18-25, 22-25, 25-20, 18-25). Mariana Brambilla's 208 kills power the Georgia Tech offense, while Maddie Tippett's 190 digs help guide the defense. Kodie Comby has 55 blocks on the season, averaging 1.04 blocks per set.Â

Friday's conference opener saw Clemson fall to Boston College 3-0 (17-25, 17-25, 19-25) followed by a Sunday loss to Syracuse 3-1 (20-25, 18-25, 25-20, 21-25).
