LAKE CHARLES—With two weeks remaining in the regular season, the McNeese volleyball team will play its final four matches at home beginning with a 7 p.m. match Thursday night against Abilene Christian at Memorial Gym on campus. The match is designated as McNeese's Dig Pink match. Donations will be taken at the door to help support the Ethel Precht Foundation. Fans are also asked to bring a new unwrapped toy for the Toys for Tots drive.
 
McNeese (11-16, 6-6 SLC) is currently in fifth place in the league standings behind Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Central Arkansas, Stephen F. Austin, and Houston Baptist. The top eight teams will advance to the Southland Conference Tournament Nov. 20-22 in Conway, Arkansas. Abilene Christian (7-18, 7-5) and Incarnate Word are not eligible for postseason play. This will be the only meeting against Abilene Christian this season.
 
The Cowgirls will look to close out the season strong after having a rough week last week with road losses at Incarnate Word and New Orleans. McNeese salvaged the week with a 3-1 win at Southeastern La. Saturday.
