How to Watch
• Tuesday's game is available to watch on a free-to-view broadcast on the CACC Digital Network. Live stats are also available with a link on the Lions schedule page. 

Previously vs. Queens
• These two teams met last year in Queens.
• It was a frustrating night for the Lions who were swept 3-0 (14-25, 22-25, 19-25)
• That loss snapped a four-game Lion winning streak. GCU is now 9-8 all-time against the Knights.

Last Time Out
• Georgian Court started the 2025 season just like they started 2024.
• While that isn't necessarily a good thing, as they lost each of their first three matches 3-0, it does show a precedent for a successful season in the end.
• At the West Chester Tournament, the Lions fell to some out of region opponents, Charleston, West Chester and Millersville.
• Iciar Zayas surpassed 2,000 career assists over the weekend, the fifth Lion in the NCAA era to reach that number. 

Individual Milestones
• Emma Gildea needs 16 points for 200 in her career. 
• One more service ace will bring Iciar Zayas to 60.

CACC Stat Leaders
• Iciar Zayas is fourth in the league averaging 7.33 assists per set. 
• Carmen Rivera's 3.89 digs per set rank fifth.
• As a team, Georgian Court is fifth in the CACC with 2.33 aces per set.
• The Lions are also sixth in assists and kills.

Home Sweet Home
• Last season at home, Georgian Court was 14-2 on their home court.
• The Lions have been outstanding at home playing under Coach Rayside. In her two seasons, the Lions are 23-5 playing in Lakewood.
• They're also 2-0 in home openers. 

About Queens
• Queens Volleyball opened the season at home last week with a four-game tournament.
• The Knights pulled out two five-set wins over Assumption and CACC rival, Wilmington.
• They opened the season against CACC runners-up Post and fell 3-1.
• A year ago, Queens finished 19-13 with a 9-3 conference record before falling in the ECC semifinals. 
• Queens lost a lot of fire power from the 2024 team, but their leading point-scorer, Kendall Conrad, is back in the fold along with Lindsay Osterhoudt who was the Knights leading blocker a season ago.
• Konrad is again leading the team in points, averaging 3.24 through four games.
• The Knights are surrendering more than 2.6 aces per game.
