The Texas A&M volleyball team hosts San Jacinto College and the University of Houston in a round-robin exhibition tournament Saturday at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Admission is free.
Action begins at 10:30 a.m. as the Aggies take on San Jacinto. San Jac and Houston follow, and the tournament concludes with A&M facing former Southwest Conference-foe Houston.
All matches will be three games to 30 points.
This is the second of four tournaments the Aggies are slated to participate in during the spring. A&M opened its spring season last weekend, going 1-1 at the SFA Spring Tournament in Nacogdoches, Texas. The Aggies travel to Houston for a tournament at Rice on April 8 and conclude their spring schedule in Missouri on April 22 at a tournament hosted by Saint Louis University.
Texas A&M coach Laurie Corbelli returns only one full-time starter ?- middle blocker senior-to-be Christi Hahn ?- from the fall season in which the Aggies went 16-14 and advanced to the NCAA Championships for a 13th consecutive year. Corbelli also returns six other letterwinners, including sophomores Kelsey Bryant (right-side hitter) and Lindsey Yon (left-side hitter), who were regulars in the lineup at the end of the season, as well as junior defensive specialist Jen Moore, who appeared in every match.
The following is A&M?â„¢s remaining spring schedule:
