With just two regular-season weekends remaining before the second annual Coastal Collegiate Sports Association Conference Championships, Tulane’s beach volleyball squad will head to Texas for a weekend at the Houston Baptist Invitational. The Green Wave will play four duals at Third Coast Volleyball on Saturday and Sunday April 8-9.
ABOUT THE HOUSTON BAPTIST INVITATIONAL
In Houston, Tulane will square off against four opponents, opening the weekend with a 9:00 a.m. Saturday contest against Central Arkansas for the first-ever meeting between the two teams. The Sugar Bears are 7-1 in their inaugural season, with their sole loss coming last weekend against No. 17 TCU.
The Green Wave will face another unfamiliar foe to close out day one in Houston, taking on Texas A&M – Kingsville for the first time in program history at 3:00 on Saturday. The Javelinas sit at an even 8-8 on the year, entering the weekend on a four-game winning streak after completing a clean sweep of their home tournament last weekend.
Sunday will feature some familiar faces, as the Green Wave kick off day two in Houston with an 11:00 a.m. rematch against conference foe No. 7 LSU. In their last meeting at the Tiger Beach Challenge almost a month ago, Tulane dropped the dual to the Tigers 0-5. The No. 1 match will be aired on CST with the broadcast beginning at noon.
Tulane closes out the weekend against host Houston Baptist, the second of three meetings between the two teams this year. Since Tulane last met the Huskies in a 5-0 victory at the Badger Beach Bash, HBU has added seven wins to their season total for a 9-7 overall record. The Green Wave lead the all-time series 3-0.
