FAST FACTS:  Drury will be playing for its first GLVC Championship post-season tourney berth since 2012 with a final regular season trip to St. Louis to take on Maryville and UMSL, needing one win to secure its slot in the eight-team tournament. ... The Panthers, in third place in the GLVC West standings, still could qualify without a win, but would need some help around the league. The top three teams from each division, plus the next two best league records regardless of division, qualify for the tourney, which starts next Friday in East Peoria, Ill. ... Drury has a one-game lead over fourth-place Truman State in the West, and its 10-6 league mark is tied with East third-place teams Parkside and UIndy. Southern Indiana of the East is also 9-7, like Truman, entering the final weekend of play, with UMSL at 8-8, as it essentially comes down to 10 teams jockeying for the eight available spots in the GLVC Tourney field. ... Second-year coach Jenifer Bahner's Panthers secured the program's first 20-win season since 2010 and only the second since the program moved to the NCAA-II level in 1994 with Tuesday's 3-0 blanking of Missouri S&T at the O'Reilly Family Event Center. ... DU is chasing the program's D-II record of 23 wins set in that 2010 campaign. ... The Panthers' final 10-1 mark at home was the program's best at the D-II level. ... Bahner is 36-20 in two seasons at Drury, including 28-12 over the Panthers' last 40 contests. ... Drury leads the all-time series with Maryville 5-2 and trails UMSL 16-14. ... The Panthers lost 3-0 at Maryville and 3-2 at UMSL last season, after sweeping the two-game St. Louis invasion in Springfield in 2013. ... Brooke Antenen's 2,838 career assists (including a team-high 888 this season), rank sixth all-time on the DU charts. ... Drury entered the week leading the GLVC in kills per set (13.96), second in assists per set (12.84) and third in digs per set (17.85). ... Senior BJ Specht is second in the league in points per set (4.08) and third in kills (3.48 per set). ...
