The second match of the road trip poses a tougher challenge, as the Sugar Bears face Florida Gulf Coast (14-4, 6-1 ASUN). FGCU has a strong all-around game, led by Shelby Kent with 283 kills and 176 digs. Skylar English (211 kills) and setter Shanelle Puetz (414 assists) add depth to their offense, while their defense is anchored by Ella Chapman with 64 blocks.

Both matches present opportunities for Central Arkansas to solidify their standing at the top of the conference, but they will need strong performances in both DeLand and Fort Myers to keep their momentum rolling.
