What to know: No one has slowed down the No. 9/10 Lewis offense this season quite like No. 11 Ball State. The Flyers will now get their rematch after hitting a season-worst .046 in a three-game road loss against the Cardinals in February. Lewis has the third-best attack percentage in the MIVA at .311 and one of nine teams in the nation hitting more than .300. All-American outside attacker Ryan Coenen is third in the conference with a 3.68 kills per game average. Coenen also has double-digit kills in his last seven matches, including a match-high 15 kills in a sweep against No. 15 Fort Wayne on Thursday. However, Coenen was held to nine kills and a zero attack percentage in the previous meeting against Ball State. This match also will feature two of the top middle attackers in the nation. Ball State All-MIVA middle attacker Matt Walsh and Lewis freshman middle attacker Tyler Mitchem are in the nation’s top 10 for several offensive and defensive categories. Walsh is eighth in the nation averaging 1.16 blocks per game and ninth in the country hitting .397, including having at least a .400 attack percentage in his last three matches.

George Mason has not won a EIVA regular season title in almost 30 years, and no team besides Penn State has won the conference’s regular season title since 1999.
