Scouting the Opposition
LSU began its season going 4-1 at the Beach Burg Invitational, falling only to No. 6 Florida State. Originally ranked No. 8 in the AVCA, the Tigers dropped to 10 for the week after the 3-2 score against the Seminoles. North Alabama is 1-3 on the season so far, also competing in the Beach Burg Invitational and defeating only Southern Miss. The Lions fell to No. 6 Florida State, 1-4 and No. 8 LSU 0-5. UT Martin will be opening their season at the Tiger Beach Challenge, looking to reach high expectations. Last season, the Skyhawks won their third-consecutive Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship, going 9-1 in league play. 

Up Next
ULM is back in action next weekend at home, hosting the ULM Bayou Bash. The Warhawks will be hosting LSU and Stephen F. Austin in the tournament.
