#11 Washington vs. #7 Purdue @ Houston (Friday)
The Tiger Classic, hosted by LSU, was moved to Rice University to avoid Hurricane Isaac. Seventh ranked Purdue  is a powerhouse, coming off a 29-5 season that ended in the Sweet 16 (to Florida State.) This season’s big hitters include sophomore Val Nichol, senior Ariel Turner and junior Catherine Rebarchak. Like Jim McLaughlin at Washington, Purdue coach Dave Shondell has doled out plenty of preseason playing time up and down his roster. This should be Washington’s toughest opponent until UCLA and USC come to Seattle September 26-27.

#8 Stanford @ #4 Penn State (Friday)
Stanford lost convincingly at Hawai’i on Sunday, and now must travel 7 time zones face the Beasts of the East. For a detailed preview, visit DigNittanyVolleyball.

#2 Texas @ #4 Penn State (Saturday)
Texas plays in a relatively easy conference, so these nonconference matchups are a good way to measure whether the Longhorns deserve their lofty ranking.

Pac-12 | Volleyball tournament moves to Houston, sidestepping hurricane


LSU Tiger Classic—featuring Washington, Purdue, Rice and host LSU—is moved to Houston

With Hurricane Isaac bearing down on Louisiana, host LSU has decided to move its Tiger Classic volleyball tournament to Rice University in Houston. #12 Washington and #7 Purdue will join LSU and Rice in the 
tournament.

The tournament’s schedule remains the same:

Pac 12 | Hurricane Isaac may change Washington volleyball plans


Baton Rouge Tournament—featuring Washington, Purdue, Rice and host LSU—may have to be moved to Houston

The latest hurricane projections from NOAA show Hurricane Isaac heading straight for Louisiana.

There are now discussions about moving this weekend’s volleyball matches from Baton Rouge, home of host LSU, to Houston, home of participant Rice

The tournament is scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, but teams were scheduled to arrive in Baton Rouge earlier in the week.
