Women's Volleyball Starts Tonight

The Women of Troy will face their first action tonight as they host the Trojan Invitational at the Galen Center. They take on Michigan State at 7 p.m., followed by a doubleheader on Saturday, with St. John's at noon and Loyola Marymount at 7 p.m.

USC's volleyball team enters the tournament ranked #6 in the nation and returns seven starters. In the spring, they placed second at the Savaria Cup by beating national teams from Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland. They tied the tournament record for highest finish by a non-national team, narrowly losing to Hungary.

The bar is set pretty high this season. Coach Mick Haley felt comfortable saying, “I think we should be in the hunt for the national championship."

This weekend's games will be broadcast online via TrojanTV All-Access (a paid subscription is required).
