Who are this evening’s opponents?
Round 2 of the inaugural LOVB Pro season sees Austin take on Wisconsin-based side Madison (Friday January, 10).
Where is the game being played?
This match is the second of a double-header at the Fort Bend County Epicenter in Texas.
The super-sized sports and entertainment complex was chosen to host Austin’s first two games of the campaign on consecutive days, as part of a ‘Weekend with LOVB’ event.
Omaha’s clash with Houston is also being held at the venue today.
What time does the action get under way?
This afternoon’s match starts at 4.30pm CST.
Opposition guide
Austin’s season got under way last night, but today’s encounter represents Madison’s first taste of LOVB Pro action.
They are managed by Matt Fuerbringer, who is an assistant coach for the United States Men’s National Team.
He also played professional beach volleyball in Europe, so should bring plenty of experience to his new side.
The 50-year-old will be working with a talented roster of players, including founding athlete Lauren Carlini and Brazilian Olympic silver medalist Ana Beatriz Correa.
Anything else to know?
Madi made quite an impact in her professional debut against Houston, racking up an impressive 22 kills, an ace, five blocks and eight digs.
But she ended up on the losing side after Houston rallied from two sets down to triumph 3-2 in their maiden league outing (25-27, 24-26, 25-22, 27-25, 16-14).
Houston will be keen to bounce back this afternoon, then, by securing victory in their match-up with Madison.
