TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Mississippi State volleyball heads to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama on Saturday at Foster Auditorium.

"For this weekend, I want the team to play hard, stay focused and be disciplined," head coach Julie Darty Dennis said. "Those are the big things we are focused on in practice right now. We need to stay together and stay focused as a group. That is a big thing with us right now - being disciplined with our system, trusting the game plan and executing at a high level."
