MIAMI (August 24, 2017) -- FIU Volleyball will play its opening weekend of matches starting Friday, when the Panthers play three times at the FGCU/ Hilton Garden Inn Invitational in Fort Myers, Florida. FIU takes on Georgia Southern for a 10 a.m. season debut, before tangling with host FGCU Friday night at 7 p.m. The Panthers finish off the weekend with a 2 p.m. contest against IUPUI on Saturday afternoon from Alico Arena.
FIU comes off a 9-19 campaign last year, with a new look and a new attitude. The team has been practicing for the past two weeks and is hungry to play someone in another school's gear.
