The No. 9 Brock women's volleyball team opens a home-and-home series with the McMaster Marauders on Sunday, Jan. 26.

The rally begins at 2 p.m. at Bob Davis Gymnasium. Tickets

Next week, it will be Brock's turn to travel to McMaster on Friday, Jan. 31.

Brock sits in second place in the division and holds the highest winning percentage in the OUA West (.727).

The Badgers look to gain separation from McMaster and Waterloo who are chasing them in standings.

Coincidentally, the Marauders (Jan. 26) and Warriors (Feb. 7) are the Badgers' last two regular season home game opponents.

The Badgers' offence rates as one of the top teams in the league as they are Top 5 among kills per set, points per set and hitting percentage. 

"I believe that teams haven't seen our full potential as an offence," said senior setter Emily Armstrong. "We've done what we needed to do to get the job done and be in the position we are now. We will be tested down the stretch, and when the pressure is high I believe we will perform."

Brock's formidable attack is generated by Armstrong and sophomore Sara Rohr. They're a big reason why the Badgers' lead the league in assists per set (11.25).

"Many teams are lucky to have one or two big attackers, yet every one of our attackers can be a go-to player on any given night," said Armstrong. "I believe that really gives us an edge on our opponents."

Brock's kill leaders include Laura Condotta, Darby Taylor, Grace Pyatt, Christina Jovetic and Gigi Markotic.
