The Drury Panthers continue fighting for a conference tournament bid as they host two conference opponents in the McKendree Bearcats on Friday at 6 pm and the Indianapolis Greyhounds on Saturday at 3 pm at the O’Reilly Family Event Center.

Drury enters these two matches on a four-game winning streak. Three of the wins came from a solid showing in the Midwest Regional Crossover as well as a win over Arkansas Tech midweek in Russellville.
 
McKendree enters this matchup 9-12, and 4-4 in the GLVC. Indianapolis enters 11-10, 4-3 in the conference. The most recent matchup for both teams was at the Midwest Regional Crossover, where McKendree lost to Walsh in straight sets, and Indianapolis lost to Trevecca Nazarene 3-0.
 
Indianapolis will face Southwest Baptist on Friday before traveling 30 miles southeast to the O’Reilly Family Event Center to face the Panthers, whereas McKendree will take I-44 to Rolla and face the Miners of Missouri S&T on Saturday.
