CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cleveland State volleyball team will continue its 2025 slate with a midweek matchup, traveling to Oakland on Tuesday, September 30 for a 6:00 p.m. #HLVB contest.
Tuesday's match will close out a four-match roadswing for the Vikings, while also marking the seventh road contest out of the last eight matches for Cleveland State.
Both teams will be looking for their first win in Horizon League play, as the Vikings dropped a weekend series at Northern Kentucky to open the league slate last time out, while Oakland came up short in a pair of matches at Milwaukee.
Entering Tuesday's match, Cleveland State owns a 22-12 record against the Golden Grizzlies, including a series sweep against Oakland last season.
Through 13 matches played this season, Cleveland State's offense has been led by the duo of
Bryn VanVleet and
Laken Voss, who have combined for 54-percent of the team's kills. VanVleet, who enters Tuesday's match ranked seventh among league players averaging 3.03 kills per set, has notched a team-best 121 total kills on the year.
Voss enters the week with 109 total kills on the year, and recently eclipsed the 1,000-kill mark for her career. Throughout her time as a Viking, Voss has recorded 3,829 attack attempts, a number that ranks her fourth in the CSU Career Record Book.
