DURHAM, N.C. – The Hampton University volleyball team will travel to North Carolina Central this weekend to compete in the school's annual North Carolina Central Volleyball Tournament. The Lady Pirates will take on four teams over the course of Friday and Saturday.

The Lady Pirates will open play at 3 p.m. on Friday against North Carolina A&T, before taking on tournament host North Carolina Central at 7 p.m. Hampton will begin Saturday's action against Winston-Salem State at 11 a.m., and the Lady Pirates' final match will be at 5 p.m. against MEAC North foe Delaware State.

Harrison and Lina Cordoba (Bogota , Columbia) hold the team lead in service aces with 12 each, while Lihi Elkayam and Adriana Vazquez (Rio Grande, Puerto Rico) each have 11 and Wynne has 10.

Wynne (Sacramento, Calif.) is also ninth in the MEAC in points, averaging 2.99 a set.
