Who are tonight’s opponents?
This evening’s game sees LOVB Austin play Salt Lake for the second time in 2025 (Friday February 14), having previously faced off during Gameweek 4.
Where is the game being played?
Austin’s next match forms part of the inaugural LOVB Classic — a mini-tournament where the season’s first piece of silverware is up for grabs.
The event is taking place at Kansas City’s Municipal Arena, a 7,316-capacity art deco venue that is best known for hosting college basketball matches.
Madi’s side will play later today, before potentially progressing through to a semi-final against Atlanta (the top-seeded team) on Saturday.
Regardless of whether they beat Salt Lake, Austin will take to the court again on Sunday, in a triple-header that will decide the competition’s final placings.

.What time does the action get under way?
Austin’s match against Salt Lake gets under way at 7pm CST tonight.
Opposition guide
Salt Lake secured victory in their last meeting with Austin, so Madi’s team will be looking to make amends this time around.
The Utah-based side edged a thrilling encounter 3-2 earlier this month, despite losing the first and third sets.
That victory was one of three triumphs for Tama Miyashiro’s team this term, putting them one place above Austin in the standings.
They have played two matches more, though, suffering defeat on five occasions — including last time out against Omaha (3-2).
Anything else to know?
Austin are looking to get back to winning ways after losing their Gameweek 5 home clash with Houston (3-1).
The team’s previous victory came in late January when they swept Omaha — and they will be aiming to replicate that comprehensive performance in Missouri this evening.
Madi should be confident of helping her side achieve that aim, after making an impressive start to life as a LOVB Pro athlete.
She has already racked up 81 points, 67 kills, 12 blocks and a blocking percentage of 24.6%, all of which are inside the division’s top 10 at this stage of the season.
