NEW ORLEANS – Tulane volleyball (12-2, 4-0) will continue American Conference action this weekend looking to extend its eight-match winning streak as it hosts Charlotte (4-12, 1-4) and UAB (6-10, 0-4) inside Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse. The Green Wave will face the 49ers on Friday, October 9, at 6:30 p.m. before battling the Blazers on Sunday, October 11, at 1 p.m.
The Wave continued to roll last weekend defeating Memphis on the road and Wichita State in Uptown to improve to 4-0 in league play. The 4-0 start to conference action marks the best start for Tulane since opening league competition 5-0 in 2007. Last weekend the Green Wave rallied from behind to defeat the Tigers 3-2 on Friday night in Memphis, Tennessee, before winning its home opener in conference play 3-1 over the Shockers on Sunday.
Sophomore Lauryn Mack was named American Conference Offensive Player of the Week for her performance over the weekend. She averaged an impressive 4.39 points, 4.00 kills, and 2.89 digs per set to help the Wave improve to 4-0 in league action. Mack recorded a career-high 20 kills in Tulane's 3-2 come from behind win at Memphis before posting 16 kills and career-best 17 digs in a 3-1 home victory over Wichita State. She is the second consecutive player for the Green Wave to earn offensive player of the week from the league after Avery Burks garnered the recognition on September 28.
