The No. 12 LSU Beach Volleyball team is scheduled to participate in the Texas Invitational on March 27 and 28 at the Wright-Whitaker Sports Complex in Austin, Texas. The event will feature several teams ranked in the American Volleyball Coaches Association’s top 20.
The tournament is seen as an important part of LSU’s season, offering the team a chance to test itself against some of the best programs before a scheduled break next weekend. Head coach Russell Brock said, “This weekend is the culmination of a really fun stretch of our season where we’ve played some really big matches. With next weekend off, it’s a great chance to genuinely leave it all in the sand against the top ranked teams in the country. I don’t feel that we’ve nearly reached our highest potential yet this year, but we’ve also improved every time we’ve stepped in the sand to compete.”
LSU will open play on Friday morning with a match against No. 2 Stanford at 10:00 AM Central Time and then face No. 1 UCLA at 3:30 PM. On Saturday, they are set for contests against No. 10 Long Beach State at 8:00 AM and No. 3 USC at 12:30 PM.
Brock added, “I expect that we take new ground and improve again this weekend and really can’t wait to see how we respond to this latest challenge.”
Recently, LSU competed in the Tiger Beach Challenge where they finished with two wins—against Boise State and No. 10 Arizona State—and two losses.
