Beach Set To Host Battle On The Bayou

BATON ROUGE – The No. 11 LSU Beach Volleyball team is set to host the Battle on the Bayou at the LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium. The Sandy Tigs will face Houston Christian, Texas A&M—Corpus Christi, Tulane, and New Orleans. 

“All week we have been talking about making another step forward in our play,” said head coach Russell Brock. “The challenge is to play better and to give a little more than we have the last few weeks.” 

The Tigers will face Houston Christian on Friday morning at 10:30 AM CT, followed by a matchup against Texas A&M—Corpus Christi at 6:00 PM to end the day. LSU will continue play on Saturday morning with a matchup against Tulane at 10:30 AM CT, followed by a matchup against New Orleans at 4:45 PM to conclude the tournament. 

LSU will be recognizing the senior class immediately after the conclusion of the LSU vs. New Orleans match. 

The Tigers are coming off the FSU Unconquered Invitational in Tallahassee, Florida, where the Sandy Tigs went 3-2, defeating No. 15 Florida Atlantic, South Carolina, and South Florida (EXH).
