Middle Tennessee Volleyball Competes in Shortened Version of Kentucky Tourney

Murfreesboro, Tenn. - Due, in part, to the recent tragic events that occurred on Tuesday September 11, Middle Tennessee volleyball (3-5) will only be playing two games on Saturday, the game on Friday evening was cancelled, at the Kentucky Conference Challenge in Lexington, KY.

The whole tournament was in question on Wednesday, when San Jose State and then the University of Virginia chose not to compete in the tournament. However, Miami University (OH) (3-3) decided to enter into the tournament, after they discovered they couldn't logistically compete in the Denver Tournament in Denver, CO.

Middle Tennessee will play Miami (OH) at noon Saturday and will then close the tournament with a 5 p.m. match up with host Kentucky (4-3). It will be the first meeting between the Lady Raiders and Miami (OH), and only the third meeting for UK and Middle Tennessee with the two teams each winning one match.
