The Heather Mazeitis era officially starts today for UL's volleyball team in Houston at the Rice Tournament.
Mazeitis and her Ragin' Cajuns will play three matches over the next two days, starting with a 12:30 p.m. matchup against Michigan and 5:30 p.m. meeting against Rice. The Cajuns end the trip at 4 p.m. Saturday against Texas-San Antonio.
Those matches should present a challenge for the Cajuns, who return nine letterwinners and four starters from last year's team that went 4-29 under Amy Kraljev. Michigan was ranked 19th nationally last year after going 24-11, Rice returns five of six starters from a 13-17 squad and UTSA is coming off a 13-21 season.
