Since their final preconference-play tournament concluded last weekend at Rice University, the volleyball team is ready for their remaining 20 matches against American Athletic Conference opponents.
After finishing 9-11 in conference play last season, the Cougars will try to start 1-0 when they travel to the University of Connecticut on Friday. The trip will mark the first time they’ve truly gone on the road this season.
Formidable rivals
The Huskies enter conference play at 9-2 and are winners of two straight games — all while leading the conference in hitting percentage, kills and assists per set.
