MONROE, La. – The ULM volleyball team has waited a long 16 days for its 2018 season opener, and its nearly here. On Friday, Aug. 24 first year head coach Russ Friedland and his Warhawks will travel to Starkville, Miss. for a two-day tournament hosted by Mississippi State.
"The first weekend of competition is always one of the hardest," Friedland said. "You're going into the unknown because there's only so much preparing you can do when you don't have the ability to scout the current roster. Every team is in the same boat, guiding their teams into the first match based purely off of the previous year's stats.
