It's always special returning home, and that's what freshman Mia Migliore is doing this weekend when the Tigers open American Athletic Conference play at Tulane in New Orleans. Migliore is from Covington, La., which is roughly a 50-minute drive north of the "Big Easy."
Friday's appearance at Tulane is Migliore's first trip back to her home area since joining the Memphis program over the summer. As a prep standout in the New Orleans area, Migliore was a Louisiana Volleyball Coaches Association (LVCA) All-State pick and helped lead her Archbishop Hannah High School squad to the 2018 Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) Division IV state championship and a 40-6 record.
