Louisville welcomes WKU, Tennessee Tech and Arizona State to the L&N Federal Credit Union Arena
The No. 24-ranked University of Louisville volleyball team will play host to Arizona State, Tennessee Tech and Western Kentucky in the Fleur de Lis Tournament this weekend at L&N Federal Credit Union Arena.
Â
Arizona State and WKU will kick off the tournament Friday, Sept. 6 at 10:30 a.m. before UofL takes on Tennessee Tech at 12:30. TTU will have a quick turnaround and play Arizona State at 5:30 and UofL will face intrastate rival WKU at 7:30. On Saturday, WKU squares off with Tennessee Tech at 1:30 and the Cardinals will battle ASU at 3:30.
Â
Louisville
It could be said that the No. 24-ranked University of Louisville volleyball team was a bit slow start after dropping the first five sets of the season. A three set loss to No. 7 Florida was followed by the Cardinals falling behind 0-2 in the first two sets with Texas A&M before Louisville sprang to life and beat the Aggies 3-2 and then swept Dayton 3-0. UofL had a balanced offensive attack in its debut weekend, getting 31 kills from lone senior Melanie McHenry, 30 from Claire Chaussee and 28 from Aiko Jones, who was named to the All-Tournament Team. Freshman setter Shannon Shields had 64 assists and five aces and newcomer Anna Stevenson added six blocks and 19 kills. Â
Â
Tennessee Tech
           Tennessee Tech has started the season 0-3 with loses to Northern Arizona, Oakland, and #15 Michigan. Freshman Dallas Oatis had a season-high 15 kills against Northern Arizona. Freshman libero Carly Skrabak recorded a season-high 13 digs against Northern Arizona. The Golden Eagles return four starters from a team that finished 11-19 last season. The last meeting between these two teams was on August 26, 2011, when Louisville won 3-0.
Â
Western Kentucky
           Western Kentucky has started the season 3-0 with wins over Loyola, Toledo, and North Dakota State. Paige Briggs and Lauren Matthews, totaled over 40 kills in the three matches, 44 and 42, respectively. Against North Dakota State, Matthews led the team with 17 kills. Junior Nadia Dieudonne recorded 20 digs in the win against Loyola. The Hilltoppers return three starters from a team that finished 20-10 on the season and 11-3 record in Conference USA play. The last time these teams faced off was September 1, 2017, when Louisville won 3-1.
Â
Arizona State
           The Sun Devils are returning four starters including their libero from a team that finished 14-18 last season. Arizona State has started this season 3-0 with wins over Houston, LSU, and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. In the game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, junior Andrea Mitrovic led the team with 19 kills with a .515 clip. Senior Callie Jones and Sophomore Noa Miller notched 24 and 14 assists in the win against Houston. Courtney Leffel and Andrea Mitrovic were named to the Flo Hyman Collegiate Cup All-Tournament Team. Leffel had 83 digs over three matches, while Mitrovic had 30 kills on a .369 clip. The last meeting between these teams was on September 12, 2014, when the Cardinals won by a score of 3-0.
