The Lady Golden Rams (1-8) enter the match with momentum after a thrilling five-set victory over Middle Georgia State in their home opener on Tuesday. Albany State will look to extend its win streak and continue building confidence on their home floor. Leading the way for the Golden Rams are veteran outside hitter Jarianis Perez, standout freshman Josiya Teague, middle blocker Shaniya Banks, and libero Talia Smith, who have all played key roles in early-season competition.

Allen comes in looking strong after back-to-back victories, defeating Clinton College (Sept. 16) and Claflin (Sept. 13). The Lady Yellow Jackets will look to carry that success into conference play as they take on an Albany State squad with a strong history in the series.

Series History: Albany State holds a commanding 8-0 series lead over Allen dating back to the program's first meeting. The two teams last faced off on Nov. 9, 2024, with the Golden Rams sweeping the Lady Yellow Jackets 3-0.
