SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Syracuse volleyball team looks to extend its winning streak in a pair of ACC road games this weekend, taking on Louisville and Notre Dame. Syracuse faces Louisville on Friday at 7 p.m. at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky. The Orange then head up north the rest of the weekend, matching up against the Irish on Sunday at 12 p.m. at Purcell Pavilion in Notre Dame, Ind. Both games will be broadcast live on ESPN3.

SCOUTING LOUISVILLE (8-4, 2-0 ACC)
The Cardinals return all six starters from last season, including All-ACC First Team honorees Katie George and Janelle Jenkins. Louisville posted a 15-15 overall record during the 2014 season, including a 7-11 ACC record.

The series between Syracuse and Louisville dates back to the 1982 season, with Louisville leading the all-time series 19-0. The Orange look to get its first win against former BIG EAST rival and now current ACC rival this weekend.

Syracuse head coach and former Louisville head coach Leonid Yelin makes his return to a place he called home from 1996-2010. Throughout his 15 seasons, Yelin built the Louisville program into a perennial powerhouse, posting a 366-112 record during his time there. He led the Cardinals to 14 NCAA Tournaments, including four NCAA Regional semifinals.

Yelin had 11 seasons with 20 or more wins and two seasons with 30 or more victories. In 2004, he earned the AVCA All-Midwest Region Coach of the Year award and was also recognized as the Conference USA Coach of the Decade the same year.

SCOUTING NOTRE DAME (5-9, 0-2 ACC)
The Irish return seven letterwinners from last season, including sophomore Sam Fry, who was named to the All-ACC Freshman Team after amassing 242 kills and 107 blocks during the 2014 season. The team welcomes seven newcomers to the program this season.

The series between Syracuse and Notre Dame dates back to 1981, with the Irish leading the all-time series 21-4. The Orange looks to come back from a 1-3 loss to the Irish last season.
