Saint Louis enters the weekend 0-5 in conference play, with two of those losses coming in five sets against two of the league's top three preseason teams.
Freshman setter
Jetta Brenning made history as the first Billiken to record a triple-double since 2012 and the first freshman to do so since 2006. She tallied 43 assists, 13 digs and a career-high 12 kills in the effort. Brenning ranks second in the conference in total assists with 542.
