Maryland Volleyball Seeks Tournament Sweep At Lsu Event

Maryland Volleyball Seeks Tournament Sweep at LSU Event

Terps Aim for Fourth Consecutive Win

Tournament Schedule and Opponents

The University of Maryland volleyball team will travel to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, this weekend to compete in the LSU Invitational. The Terps will face three opponents over the course of the two-day event, beginning with a match against McNeese State on Friday, September 9th. Maryland will then take on host LSU on Saturday, September 10th, before wrapping up the tournament against Southeastern Louisiana later that evening.

Maryland's Recent Performance

Maryland enters the LSU Invitational with a 3-2 record, having won three of its last four matches. The Terps' lone loss during that stretch came against a tough Penn State team, ranked fifth in the AVCA Coaches Poll. Maryland has been led by outside hitter Laila Ricks, who has recorded double-digit kills in each of the team's five matches this season.

Tournament Outlook and Expectations

Maryland will be looking to continue its recent success at the LSU Invitational. The Terps have won the tournament in each of the past three years and will be aiming to make it four straight this weekend. However, the field this year is a strong one, with LSU and Southeastern Louisiana both receiving votes in the AVCA Coaches Poll. Maryland will need to play its best volleyball in order to come away with the tournament title.

  • Taylor Bannister, LSU
  • Lexi Johnson, Southeastern Louisiana
