LAKE CHARLES—With two matches left in the regular season and a Southland Conference Tournament berth on the line, the McNeese volleyball team controls its own destiny. McNeese will travel to New Orleans Tuesday night for a 7 p.m. match before concluding the regular season at Nicholls Saturday.
 
McNeese (14-16, 4-10 SLC) heads into the final week of the regular season in ninth place, one game out of eighth place Nicholls (5-9 SLC). The Southland Conference Tournament will field the top eight teams.
 
The Cowgirls will look to sweep both teams this season after defeating both UNO and Nicholls in straight sets at home this season. Two wins by the Cowgirls this week will assure them the final spot in the SLC Tournament.
 
McNeese continues to lead the league in service aces with 198 and Malina Sanchez also leads the lead with 66 service aces. Rachel Cagnina is in seventh place in the SLC with a .281 hitting percent and Kelly Graham ranks sixth with 9.35 assists per set.
 
New Orleans enters Tuesday's match with a 6-23 overall record and winless in the SLC with a 0-15 record.
