VALLEY CITY, ND (NewsDakota.com)  The stretch run of the volleyball regular season starts tonight with the Valley City hosting Fargo Davies.

Five regular season matches remain for the Hi-Liners, and every Eastern Dakota Conference (EDC) point matters.  Valley City stands in a ninth-place tie, and any win by Horace and Red River will put the Hi-Liners on the road in the play-in round.

Where they would play is the next toss-up.  If the season ended today, they would play at Horace, but the Hi-Liners are down in the tiebreaker to Grand Forks Central.  Red River is another possibility for the plan-in for Valley City, and the Hi-Liners recently defeated the Roughriders in tournament action.

Match time tonight is 7:15 tonight.  Pregame coverage will begin around 6:45 PM on KOVC.
