MATCH NOTES: Saint Louis | Northern Colorado | North Dakota | Bradley
• Saint Louis heads to Peoria, Ill., this weekend for the CEFCU Classic, featuring Northern Colorado, North Dakota and Bradley.
• The match against tournament-host Bradley on Sunday will be streamed to ESPN3.
• This weekend's matches are the fifth, sixth and seventh of nine straight road contests for the Billikens. It's the longest road stretch for SLU since the 2005 Billikens opened the season with 10 consecutive road/neutral site matches.
• The three matches are the final nonconference contests of the season for the Billikens.
• SLU and Northern Colorado will be meeting for the first time in program history, while the Billikens were victorious in their lone previous encounter with North Dakota (2015). The Billikens hold a one-game edge over Bradley in their 21 all-time meetings.
• Two Billikens reached career milestones last weekend. Maya Taylor became just the fifth Billiken to reach the 1,500-kill mark, and head coach Kent Miller won his 150th match at the helm of SLU.
• Saint Louis ranks sixth in the NCAA with 77 total service aces this season.
• The Billikens' 2.14 service aces per set as a team are best in the conference and 13th nationally.
• SLU has accumulated 485 total digs on the year, ranking them 17th in the NCAA.
• Taylor is second in the Atlantic 10 this season with 3.89 kills per set.
• Jillian Mattingly boasts a .401 hitting percentage, ranking her first in the A-10 and 49th nationally. Of those ranked in the top 50, Mattingly is third in both kills (95) and attack attempts (182).
• Emily Henken leads the A-10 and is 46th in the NCAA with 0.50 service aces per set.
