Last Time Out...
Presbyterian began its four-match road trip with a pair of defeats at the hands of Campbell late last week. In the opener against the Camels, Anna Hewitt recorded 20 digs, reaching the 20-dig mark for the ninth consecutive contest. Allie Wright had a pair of blocks in the match to reach 317 for her Blue Hose career, which moved her into second in the program's DI era (2007-present). The following day, Wright played the 100th match of her PC career.

Chasing 1000...
Junior Erin Cooke comes into the series against Winthrop with 996 assists in her collegiate career. When she crosses the 1000 plateau, the junior will become the seventh Blue Hose to reach 1000 assists in the program's DI era. Presbyterian senior Sierra Jones was the most recent Blue Hose to reach 1000 assists, surpassing 1000 on Sept. 7, 2019 against Georgia State.
