WKU Volleyball is set to host its annual spring tournament this Saturday on The Hill as the Lady Toppers will welcome Lipscomb, Samford and Southern Illinois to Diddle Arena.
Admission to see the three-time defending Conference USA regular season and tournament champions is free. All tournament contests will take place on the main court in Diddle Arena.
The Hilltoppers open play on Saturday at noon CT against Lipscomb. WKU and Lipscomb meet during the 2016 season in Bowling Green and went the full five sets before the Red and White came out on top. WKU will play again at 2 p.m. against Southern Illinois before closing the day with a 5 p.m. tilt versus Samford.
All matches will be two sets to 25 points with no cap and the winner will be determined by set score and, when necessary, then by point differential.
Weekend play will wrap up spring practice for the Lady Topper squad that returns 10 of 12 letterwinners from last season’s team that finished 30-3.
