The women's volleyball team made school history this weekend after extending its undefeated streak to 6-0 on the season, the best opening record since UCF joined Division I in 1984.
With all six victories occurring on the road, the Knights look to continue their hot streak at home in the Courtyard by Mariott/UCF Classic.
The Knights brought home their second trophy of the season with a win at the
UNC-Wilmington/Courtyard by Marriott Tournament in North Carolina.
Junior Kristin Fisher was named tournament MVP and was joined by sophomores Evija Vilde and Meredith Murphy on the all-tournament team.
The Knights open play at the UCF Classic with a double-header in The Venue against Florida Atlantic (6-2) at 1 p.m. before playing at 7:30 p.m. against Baylor (4-4). UCF concludes play at 1:30 p.m. versus Jacksonville (2-5) on Saturday.
The first 100 students in the door for the Baylor match get a free Block Party T-shirt.
The outlook for the Knights to maintain perfection looks promising coming into the home-opening tournament.
Last season, the Knights won the UCF Invitational with a perfect 4-0 record, which included matches against Jacksonville and Florida Atlantic.
The 2009 squad dropped only one set in the tournament and had three players named to the all-tournament team.
Despite boasting the strongest record this weekend, the Knights will try to avoid another Baylor knockout. Last season, the Bears defeated the Knights in three sets to break the five-match season-opening winning streak.
Florida Atlantic has yet to play in Boca Raton, but they've proven they're comfortable playing on the road, with all six of their victories coming away from home this season.
Jacksonville visits UCF more for the experience than the shot at glory and should pose little problem for UCF.
