Tonight's LOVB Pro Round 1 match sees Austin travel to face Houston (Thursday January, 9).
Where is the game being played?
LOVB Austin are heading to the Fort Bend County Epicenter for their season opener.
The sports and entertainment complex in Fort Bend County, Texas, measures an impressive 230,000 square feet and houses six basketball courts, 12 volleyball courts, indoor event spaces and an outdoor pavilion.
What time does the action get under way?
This evening's match is set to start at 7pm CST.
Opposition guide
LOVB Pro is just one game old, following Atlanta’s clash with Salt Lake last night.
As a result, there are still plenty of unknowns when it comes to the league’s six teams.
That is as true for Houston as it is for any other competing side, but we do know that they will be coached by 60-year-old Italian Massimo Barbolini.
The Modena native previously enjoyed a successful stint in charge of the Italy women’s national team, winning two European Championships and two Volleyball World Cups from 2007 to 2011.
He’ll be managing a side that includes founding athletes Jordan Thompson and Micha Hancock.
Anything else to know?
This evening’s game is the first of two matches in quick succession for Madi’s team.
They follow up tonight’s clash with Austin by playing Madison tomorrow (4.30pm), also at the Fort Bend County Epicenter.
