BALTIMORE—The UMBC volleyball team travels to America East rivals Binghamton and Albany this weekend for a crucial pair of matches. The Retrievers (8-13, 4-2 America East) take on the Bearcats (10-12, 5-2 AEC) Friday at 6 p.m. and the Great Danes (15-7, 5-2) Sunday at 1 p.m. UMBC finds itself a half game behind both opponents in the conference standings.
SCOUTING THE BEARCATS and GREAT DANES: The two schools split a pair of matches last weekend, with each visiting team winning. Binghamton is led by Michelle McDonough and Anna Lejina, who average 3.94 and 3.71 kills per set, respectively.
