The Marshall Phoenix will look to take advantage of their home court for the first time this season as they take on the Mission Bears at 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
Marshall is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after starting their season on the road. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of Burton back in September. The Phoenix haven't had much luck with the Pumas recently, as the team has come up short the last eight times they've met.
The home team had come away the winner the last four times Mission and Burton had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Bears walked away with a 3-1 win over the Pumas on Wednesday. The game was the first time the Bears have beaten the Pumas on their court since October 23, 2023.
Mission had a slow start but a hot finish: after dropping the first set, they turned around to win the next three. Once all was said and done, the final score wound up at 15-25, 25-23, 25-17, 25-21.
Marshall couldn't quite get it done against Mission when the teams last played back in October of 2023 as they fell 3-1. Can the Phoenix avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
