“Revenge is in the air,” DePaul volleyball coach Anna Marassa said about the her Blue Demon team coming to Chick Evans Field House tonight at 7 p.m. to face NIU in the final North Star Conference match for the two rivals.

The NIU volleyball team, 2-3 in the NSC, beat the Blue Demons twice last year in two close contests. The first match went all five games last season and the second meeting in the NSC Tournament went four games. The match tonight is ultimately for seedings in the tournament, but a win would be good for the Huskies.

“They’re a very good team,” Huskie coach Pete Waite said. “They are one of the favorites to win the conference, but we’re excited about it and we’re going to go after them.”

NIU is going into the game looking to end their NSC regular season with a .500 record.
