“We know Tulane is one of the better defensive teams in the country,” Lady Toppers coach Travis Hudson said in a news release. “We knew it was going to be that kind of defensive game. Jim Barnes is one of the best tacticians in-game that I’ve ever coached against – they make a lot of adjustments in game to take things away from you. We knew we were going to have to continue to make adjustments as we moved along. We did that and did just enough to find a way to win this thing.”

With the 3-1 (25-16, 25-22, 20-25, 25-20) win over Tulane, a finalist in last season’s NIVC, the Lady Toppers now sit at 9-1 on the 2019 campaign.
