The Bobcats went south to Baltimore, Md. to play at the Morgan State Invitational this past weekend. The Bobcats went 1-2 over the weekend, falling to William & Mary and Towson on Friday. However, the Bobcats came back on Saturday morning and swept Seton Hall.
SCOUTING THE HIGHLANDERS
NJIT opened its season at the Terrier Classic at St. Francis Brooklyn last weekend. The Highlanders took on St. Francis Brooklyn, Maryland-Eastern Shore and Central Michigan. NJIT lost all three matches, winning two sets in its three matches. The Highlanders also faced St. John's in their home opener, falling 3-0 in that match. Freshman Outside Hitter Sarah Merritt leads the Highlanders with 30 kills through their first four matches. Senior Setter Liz Benson leads NJIT with 94 assists on the year.
SCOUTING THE KNIGHTS
Fairleigh Dickinson kicked off the 2019 season at the NIU Invitational at Northern Illinois University last weekend.

Sophomore Libero leads Fairleigh Dickinson in digs with 36.
SCOUTING THE BEARS
Morgan State is coming off a 2-1 weekend to kick off their 2019 campaign. In the Morgan State Invitational, the Bears defeated Seton Hall and William & Mary, but fell to Towson in their final game of the invitational. The Bears also had a midweek clash against Siena, sweeping the Saints. Morgan State is paced by Outside Hitter Zoe McBride, who has 80 kills through four games. She also has a hitting percentage of .301.
