The Blazers will also face the Florida Institute of Technology at 7 p.m.
The pair of games Friday are part of the Blazers’ Fairfield Inn and Suites Azalea Classic, which features six teams, including Valdosta State, participating in a two-day tournament at the VSU P.E. Complex. Games begin at 9 a.m. both days. Albany State and Lander get the action started on Friday morning.
“I know some coaches that would rather go somewhere else on the first weekend and work out all the kinks and then come home the second weekend,” Valdosta State head volleyball coach Sia Poyer said. “But for us, for non-conference play, it is pretty hard to get teams to come here, for whatever reason. ... It is nice to start with our tournament, to play four matches on our home court. It is hard to get teams to come here, but especially with our schedule this year, we’re on the road a lot, we will take anything we can get at home.”
