UL's volleyball team has the honor of first sport up this weekend, when the Cajuns host the second Capital One Ragin' Cajun Classic at Long Gym.
The tournament has two matches tonight and four on Saturday, with the Cajuns opening play at 7 p.m. against Jackson State in the round-robin event. It will be the first UL athletic event of the 2007-08 school year.
The early start would have been a concern for UL coach Amy Kraljev in either of the last two seasons, but she enters this year's opening tournament with an older, deeper and more experienced lineup.
"We have so many options that we haven't had before," Kraljev said. "We don't have as many holes as we've had in the past."
