MEMPHIS, Tenn. – It should come as no surprise that University of Memphis volleyball team opens American Athletic Conference action on the road this weekend. It's become like a rite of passage for the Tigers since joining the league in 2013.
For the seventh season in a row, Memphis begins the conference portion of its schedule on the road with matches at Tulane and Houston. The last time the Tigers played a league opener at home was in 2012, which was Memphis' last season in Conference USA. Memphis is 2-4 in its previous six American Athletic Conference openers.
