McKENDREE SEASON STATISTICS

(LEBANON, Ill., Jan. 21)--
The McKendree University men's volleyball team will take the court for the first time in two weeks when the Bearcats head to Parkville, Mo., to participate in the Park Invitational. McKendree will have two matches each day, facing Graceland University (2 p.m.) and Culver-Stockton College (6 p.m.) on Friday before squaring off against Clarke University (11 a.m.) and Morningside College (3 p.m.) on Saturday.

The Bearcats have not played since their home opener back on Jan. 9, a four-set loss at the hands of Grand View University. McKendree brings a season record of 0-3 into the Park Invitational, which will mark the program's lone in-season tournament of the 2015 season. 

Friday's opponents, like McKendree, are in search of their first victory of the year. Graceland comes into the weekend having played just one match so far in 2015, a five-set loss to Morningside on Wednesday. Culver-Stockton has dropped all three of its matches to date, including losses to both Morningside and Clarke. McKendree faced Culver-Stockton four times a year ago, with the Bearcats collecting wins in each contest. 

On the flip side of the Park Invitational, Saturday's foes for McKendree have a combined record of 5-1. Clarke brings an unblemished 3-0 mark into the tournament. The Crusaders own victories over both Morningside and McKendree MIVA foe Quincy University. Morningside is 2-1 on the young season, including a four-set triumph over Culver-Stockton. The Mustangs' lone loss of 2015 came in straight sets against Grand View. 

Following the Park Invitational, McKendree will open a season-long eight-match home stand on Tuesday, Jan. 27 against Missouri Baptist University.
