NEW ORLEANS โย Following a weekend inside the friendly confines of Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse,ย Tulane volleyball is back in action Wednesday night with a midweek road match-up at the University of Houston.

QUOTE
"This week is a critical week for us because we will wrap up the first round of conference play. Houston is one of the teams at the bottom of the league, but they have been playing better as of late. We are focused and ready to make a big run down the stretch as we have proven that we can beat any team in our league."
--Tulane head coach Jim Barnes
