Spring 2021 Schedule
NEW ORLEANS — Tulane volleyball head coach Jim Barnes announced on Friday the team's 2021 schedule as the Green Wave ready for their first ever spring season on the court.
"As a team, we are very grateful to be able to play. Especially for our seniors," Barnes said. "This schedule is not the full schedule we had planned in the fall but it is a very competitive one that gives us an opportunity to compete for an AAC championship and NCAA bid. We have the talent to achieve both."
After making a second consecutive postseason appearance and finishing with a 22-11 record in the 2019 season, the Olive and Blue look forward to a lineup that features matchups against seven teams that ranked in last season's NCAA top 100 RPI.
