Tulsa Volleyball to Continue AAC Play on Road at Houston and Tulane

TULSA, Okla. – The University of Tulsa Volleyball team is slated to play their first American Athletic Conference road contests over the weekend, traveling to Houston, Texas to take on the Cougars at 7 p.m. on Saturday before heading to New Orleans, La. to battle Tulane on Sunday.

Tulsa (12-2, 1-1 AAC) holds a 14-7 all-time series advantage over Houston (5-8, 0-2 AAC), splitting a pair of matches last year as both road teams emerged with victories away from home. The Hurricane are tied in the all-time series with Tulane (9-5, 1-1 AAC) dating back to 1986, 13-13. Tulsa and the Green Wave split their matches last season while TU has taken three out of the last four from Tulane.

The Hurricane (12-2, 1-1 AAC) opened up conference play at home last week, falling to preseason conference favorite Cincinnati in five sets before beating East Carolina in four on Saturday afternoon.

Tulsa will return to the Reynolds Center Friday, Oct. 7 to take on Temple at noon before wrapping up weekend play on Sunday, Oct. 9 against Connecticut.
