TULSA, Okla. – After back-to-back five-set matches last weekend, the Tulsa volleyball team returns to the Reynolds Center one final time this season to host Memphis and SMU.

Tulsa will honor five seniors after the SMU match: Callie Cook, Maggie Hembree, Lauren Isenberg, Hannah Overmyer and Roosa Rautio.
Â
The Golden Hurricane split last weekend's road matches, downing East Carolina in Greensville, North Carolina before dropping a hard-fought match at Cincinnati. Tulsa currently sits at 14-13, and 9-9 in American Athletic Conference play. The Hurricane are currently in seventh place in the American.
Â
Hembree was named to the AAC Week 13 Honor Roll yesterday for her play in the final road trip of the season. The local product tallied a career-high 18 kills in the win over East Carolina and calculated a .500 hitting percentage over the two matches. It was the first time Hembree was named to the honor roll this year.
Â
Kayley Cassaday also continued her strong season, recording a new career-high 26 kills against Cincinnati. The junior now has 395 kills on the season. Rautio also continued to make an impact since being reinserted into the starting lineup earlier this month. The Rovaniemi, Finland native notched a career-high 63 kills in the victory over ECU.
Â
Tulsa and Memphis will square off for the 33rd time between the two programs, and the second time this season. The Hurricane knocked off the Tigers in four sets back on October 10th and lead the all-time series 20-12.
Â
Tulsa and SMU will clash for the 52nd time ever, and the second time this season. The Hurricane swept SMU back on October 8th in Dallas, but the Mustangs lead the all-time series 31-20. SMU will play Wichita State tomorrow before heading to Tulsa.
