BATON ROUGE — The 11th-ranked LSU volleyball team will host No. 7 Florida and Auburn at home this weekend with several great promotions for the fans, including a FREE Benjy Davis Project concert after Friday’s match in the Maravich Center.
On Friday, the Tiger volleyball team, which currently leads the Southeastern Conference Western Division and is only a game behind the Gators for the overall league lead, will host Florida at 7 p.m.
The “Gold Digger Student Night” match will serve as the student-point game, where LSU students will earn points that can be utilized in the event of high demand ticket situations for athletics events including football away and postseason games. In addition, 100 free “Gold Digger” t-shirts will be given away at the FanZone for the first students to arrive.
Following the match, the Benjy Davis Project will perform for everyone in attendance in a joint effort sponsored by LSU athletics and Student Government. Students who are planning to travel to Tennessee for the football game as part of the Student Government’s annual bus trip can come to the volleyball match, stay for the concert and then load the bus for the trip from the Maravich Center.
Against Auburn, LSU and Mizuno are encouraging youth volleyball teams to come to the match as part of “Mizuno Team Day”. Local teams get into the match FREE with “Advocate” tickets available through the LSU Promotions office. Teams should call Nicki Woodard at 578-8960 before Friday at 3 p.m. or wear their team uniforms to get into the match for FREE.
