Milwaukee volleyball recently secured two victories against Youngstown State as the Horizon League play resumed. The team will conclude October with a home match against Green Bay on Tuesday, followed by away games at Purdue Fort Wayne on Friday and Saturday.

Matt Menzl will provide ESPN+ coverage of Tuesday's game from the Klotsche Center, while only Saturday's match at Purdue Fort Wayne will be available on ESPN+. Live statistics for all matches can be accessed via MKEPanthers.com.

Milwaukee's recent wins place them just one game behind league leader Wright State. Currently, Green Bay holds fifth place in the standings, while Purdue Fort Wayne is tied for third. In their recent games against Youngstown State, Milwaukee averaged 14.50 kills per set and limited their opponents to 9.33 kills per set defensively.

Green Bay has struggled offensively this season despite having two players ranked in the top ten for kills within the Horizon League. The Phoenix lost both matches to Wright State last weekend but showed strong individual performances from Katie Schulz and Cora Behnke.

Purdue Fort Wayne's Panna Ratkai stands out as a key player, leading the league with 363 kills this season. The Mastodons have won five of their last six matches and are looking forward to challenging games ahead.

Looking ahead, Milwaukee plans to visit Robert Morris before concluding their regular season schedule.
