Baton Rouge, La. – The No. 5 Tigers are set to welcome six teams to the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium for the Tiger Beach Challenge this weekend.

The Tigers come off a weekend in NOLA going 4-0 at the Green Wave Invitational. LSU defeated Tulane, North Alabama, Nicholls and UNO.

“Playing at home is really special,” said head coach Russell Brock. “There’s an energy that happens when we play in our stadium in front of our fans, friends and family that just can’t be duplicated anywhere else. Historically we’ve been really good at home and look forward to defending our sand this weekend against some great competition.”
