LA Tech releases 2022 volleyball schedule

RUSTON, La. – Louisiana Tech head volleyball coach Amber McCray announced the 2022 Lady Techster Volleyball schedule on Monday afternoon, which features nine home matches inside the Thomas Assembly Center.

“Our preseason will provide unique opportunities for us to compete against both our usual regional opponents and several new ones as we expanded our travel to some different areas of the country we haven’t been before,” said coach McCray.

“We also have one more year to compete against familiar teams before our loaded C-USA gets a complete makeover, and we are excited to see how we match up this year with another year of experience for our returners and a talented incoming class.”

The Lady Techsters will begin the preseason with an exhibition or intrasquad match in Ruston on Aug. 21 at 3 p.m. before kicking off the regular season at the Big Orange Bash in Clemson, S.C. where we will face Austin Peay, Presbyterian and Clemson.
