USF volleyball takes on Cincinnati in another important Big East match (game begins at 1PM).  After falling to Louisville on Friday, the Bulls at 9-7 (1-2) are looking to get a strong Big East win here to get back to .500 on the year in league play.  Cincinnati, winners of two straight, are 4-11 (2-1) on the year and will prove to be a big challenge to the Bulls. 

Cincinnati is led by senior middle blocker Emily Hayden has 132 kills and 18 digs on the season. Senior middle blocker Becca Refenes (6-2) has 130 kills, 18 assists, and 75 digs on the year.  Senior middle blocker Jordanne Scott (6-2) has 246 kills and 86 digs, being the top finisher at the net for the Bearcats.  Senior setter Rachel Rofhls (5-10) has 535 assists and 59 digs on the season, setting up the offense.  Junior defensive specialist Emily MacIntyre (5-5) has 269 digs on the year, sitting in the middle of the court to lead the counter attacks. 

This is a big test for USF.  After raising up the energy and battling tough vs. Louisville, the Bearcats, a team that has won two straight, could get the upset.  It will be up to the senior leaders to lead the team, refocus, and take care of business and get the job done in a game the Bulls should win.
