CHARLESTON, S.C. – College of Charleston volleyball finishes the 2025 regular season at home against Elon Nov. 15 and 16 at TD Arena. Opening serves are set for 2 p.m. both days with the matches airing live on FloCollege. Entry to all home regular season contests are free of charge.

Prior to Saturday's match, the College will honor its senior class, which features Olivia Mae Van Der Werff, Bella Sinacori, Avery Alexander, Morgan Cobb and Izzy Marinelli.

OPENING SERVE:

Charleston clinched its berth to the 2025 CAA Volleyball Championship last Friday with a straight set victory at William & Mary.
Freshman Jumana Martin tallied 25 digs in the win while picking up a career-best 33 the next day en route to earning CAA Rookie of the Week honors.
Martin enters the final weekend leading the conference with 311 digs and 5.46 digs/set across 14 CAA matches, the most digs per set in a full season since 2018.
Martin is also 1-of-3 players nationally with at least 515 digs, 115 assists and 25 aces and is just 1-of-2 freshmen to have 500 digs and 100 assists this season.
Junior Lauren Dow registered her 3,000th career assist against the Tribe in a match where she recorded 52 assists, a season high for the setter.
Graduate Izzy Marinelli ripped off 20 kills in Saturday's match versus W&M, tying her career mark from earlier in the season.
Marinelli has 18-or-more kills in four of the last five games after reaching 800 for her career last weekend.
Charleston has double-digit conference wins in 15 of Jason Kepner's 19 seasons as head coach and enters the final weekend with a conference record of 25-7 over the last two campaigns.

Matt Troy is in his first season leading Elon after eight seasons with Johns Hopkins. The Phoenix are 7-18 overall and 5-9 in the CAA this year. Simrin Carlsen and Clara Simmons both average over 2.50 kills/set in conference action.

SERIES HISTORY:
