Cross Divisional Showdown Highlights Week Four of Sun Belt Women’s Volleyball League Action

Week four of the Sun Belt women’s volleyball league delivers a pair of high-stakes cross-divisional matchups, with Georgia Southern hosting Arkansas State in a clash of division leaders. The Eagles, who top the East Division with an undefeated home record of 8-0, will face the West Division’s Arkansas State, currently tied for first but struggling on the road at 2-3.

Meanwhile, the Eastern Division’s James Madison and App State square off, both sporting identical 5-1 league records but with contrasting strengths: the Dukes lead the nation in team blocks (215 total, 3.26 per set) and rank second in blocks per set, while the Mountaineers dominate nationally in total kills (1,096) and rank second in assists (979), just one behind Iowa’s conference lead. Individually, James Madison’s Kennedy Louisell stands out as the conference’s top scorer (309 kills, fifth nationally) and leads in kills per set (4.54), service aces (0.62 per set), and points per set (5.46).

App State’s MeMe Davis and Reagan Richardson also shine, with Davis ranking third nationally in total digs (350) and Richardson fourth in assists (774). The league’s top 25 national rankings extend beyond these matchups, with Southern Miss and Troy leading in aces per set (2.02 and 2.00, respectively) and Georgia Southern excelling in assists (12.95 per set) and digs (16.14 per set).
