MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Well, that was a short stay at home for the University of Memphis volleyball squad.
After hosting and winning their own Memphis Invitational last weekend, the Tigers are back on the road, this time for the opening weekend of American Athletic Conference action. Memphis travels to Storrs, Conn., Friday to face Connecticut, and then moves on to Philadelphia, Pa., to square off against Temple Sunday.
However, opening conference play on the road is nothing new for Memphis. In fact, it's become a tradition of sorts for the program. Since joining the American Athletic Conference in July of 2013, the Tigers have opened every league schedule on the road, including this weekend.
