2 PM: Championship Match


Later in the week, I will breakdown our first round opponent UTSA, so check back in a few days to read up on what they bring to the table. Earlier in the year, SFA defeated UTSA 3-2 in Nacogdoches. Make sure and check out www.southland.org as well as www.sfajacks.com leading up to the tournament for additional information. There are a lot of options available to you as a fan including free live streams of the games. The championship will be televised by the SLC TV Network. Check www.southland.org for affiliates in your area.

Once I get to San Antonio, I will post running entries each day all during the day so you can connect with www.sfavolleyblog.net while following all the action. Ben Rikard and I will be court side for all SFA matches and as always, we will keep you informed.

Consider making the trip to San Antonio! We need some purple in the stands Friday night since we will be playing the host team. If you can't be in the Alamo city, then make sure and follow the tournament both here and at the websites listed above.
