Last Time Out
- The Tigers went 1-1 in last week's inaugural MIAA in-season tournament, defeating No. 15 Washburn in four sets before falling to No. 8 Missouri Western in three.
- The win over the Ichabods was FHSU's first ranked win since 2023.

Ranked Tigers
- Ella Goodwin leads the team and ranks 11th in the MIAA with an average of 3.08 kills per set.
- Ashlyn Reeves ranks fifth in the league with an attack percentage of .346 while ranking 12th with an average of 0.96 blocks per set.
- Annie Eaton ranks third in the conference with an average of 8.99 assists per set and is second overall with 32 service aces on the year.
- Haylee Wolf leads the team with an average of 4.51 digs per stanza, eighth-most in the association.
- Mylie Brown ranks 18th in the conference with an average of 2.81 kills per set.

On the Prowl
- Fort Hays State totaled 85 kills in its win over Pittsburg State, more than any other NCAA volleyball team this season and one of just five outings with 80-plus kills in across all levels of NCAA this year.
- That total is second-most at FHSU during the rally-scoring era (since 2001) and the most in a match by the Tigers since 2003.
 
Swinging for the Fences
- After going 10 years without an attack percentage over .400 against a DII opponent, the Tigers reached that threshold twice in the first two weeks of this season. FHSU posted an attack percentage of .442 against Midwestern State at home and later added a swing rate of .425 against Sul Ross State in Grand Junction, Colo.
- The Tigers have hit .300 or better five times and have 14 performances of .250 or better.
