What to know: This is an early season conference match between the only two undefeated teams in MIVA play. Loyola is guided by first year head coach John Hawks who comes to Chicago after spending the previous seven seasons at UCLA as an assistant coach. Neither team has won the MIVA in the previous three seasons after both teams had combined to win the conference 10 of the previous 11 years before that stretch. The Buckeyes lead the all-time series, 25-17, but the Ramblers are 12-7 at home. In their last trip before conference play, the Ramblers were upset in four games at Concordia while forcing No. 3/3 Long Beach State to five games. Loyola ranks No. 2 nationally with 2.659 blocks per game, led by middle attacker Nicodemus Meyer’s 1.436 blocks per game. On the offensive side, the Ramblers rank No. 5 nationally with 2.05 aces per game, with opposite Parker Van Buren leading the way with a conference-best 0.658 aces per game. On the other side of the net, Ohio State leads the conference with 12.65 kills per game. They will look to their dynamic pin duo of opposite Samuel Clark and outside attacker Jacob Pasteur to lead the way. Clark comes into the match with 3.67 kills per game, while Pasteur is right behind him at 3.64 kills per game. Ohio State’s 10-3 record while still impressive, may be misleading as all three loses have been to teams ranked in the top five in both national polls.
