JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville State volleyball team will wrap up the 2010 regular season this weekend with a pair of home matches. The Gamecocks will host Southeast Missouri on Friday at 7 p.m. and Eastern Illinois on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. Admission is free to both matches.

The Gamecocks (14-13, 9-7 Ohio Valley Conference), who enter the final two matches of the season tied with Eastern Kentucky for third in the OVC standings, will look to secure the No. 3 seed in next week's conference tournament in Morehead Ky. On Friday, they will try and avenge a five-set loss at Southeast Missouri on Oct. 9, while Saturday's match will mark the last one at Pete Mathews Coliseum for the Gamecocks' three seniors, Brooke Schumacher, Kara Slater and Caitlin Vorbeck.

The Redhawks (6-21, 3-13 OVC) enter the weekend playing to close the season after already being eliminated from next week's six-team tournament. The Panthers (15-14, 7-9 OVC) are tied for the final spot in the field and are trying to play their way in. Free pizza will be available for fans at both matches.

Two members of the Gamecocks' senior class are chasing records in the final week of the regular season. Schumacher, a setter from Lake In The Hills, Ill., needs just 30 assists to tie former All-OVC setter Emily Withers as the school's career leader in that category. Schumacher sits at 4,035 career assists, while Withers' set the record at 4,335 from 2003-06.

Vorbeck is climbing the Gamecocks' career kills leader and currently sits in sixth on that list. A native of Raytown, Mo., she has recorded 1,308 kills in her career, only four behind A.J. Sanders for fifth place. Amanda Sandlin's 1,335 kills in fourth is also in reach for Vorbeck.

Slater has been on a tear of late for the Gamecocks, averaging 2.9 kills on a .342 attack percentage over the last five matches. The Colorado Springs, Colo., native has also averaged .75 blocks per set in that span.

Junior Lauren Harkins is also making some noise in the record books, closing in on one of the best seasons on the back row in school history. The Louisville, Ky., native set the single-season mark for digs last year with 662, and her 514 so far this season is 13 shy of becoming the second-most in school history. She also needs just 31 digs to catch Brittney Whitten for second place on JSU's career digs list.
