The Lady Techsters are coming off four- and three-set losses to San Jose State and Utah State on the road, and will face the Bobcats for the second time this season, the first meeting resulting in a straight-set loss for Tech on the road.

"Our team is looking forward to playing at home again," head coach Adriano de Souza said. "As for Texas State and UTSA, they are both very good teams. I am sure our players will prepare well for these next two opponents and I hope we put our best effort during our matches this week."
