The Texas A&M volleyball team concludes its spring exhibition season at a tournament hosted by Saint Louis University Saturday at Simon Recreation Center on the SLU Campus.
The Aggies are slated to play four matches in the one-day tournament. They open against Missouri State at 10 a.m. and face Bradley at noon. A&M takes on the host Billikens at 1 p.m. and concludes the tournament against Southeast Missouri State at 4 p.m.
All matches will be best-of-three games played to 30 points.
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.
A&M opens the 2006 fall campaign August 25 at Colorado State, which advanced to the second round of the 2005 NCAA tournament before being eliminated by eventual national-champion Washington.
