SAN ANTONIO (July 18, 2019) - The Our Lady of the Lake University (OLLU) volleyball program has released its match schedule for the fall featuring 24 regular season matches, including eight home matches and the Red River Conference (RRAC) Championship Tournament.
"We were able to put together a pretty nice schedule including some chances to be seen outside of our conference," said first-year Head Coach Scott Mattera.
A new tradition will begin this fall in conjunction with the Blue Nation Orientation event for all freshmen and new students at OLLU. The Saints will host an exhibition match that will be the featured activity on the orientation schedule. The match will be against Coastal Bend College on Saturday, Aug. 17, during the event where new students will be welcomed to the 2019-2020 academic year.
"One of the things we are trying to do within athletics and the volleyball program, in particular, is to establish a culture here at OLLU where matches are fun events that everyone can come out and enjoy. Working with the Division of Student Affairs to feature a volleyball exhibition during welcome weekend right before their big Saturday night party should help us get off on the right foot building fan support!"
