#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.
