Where is the game being played?
This match will be held at H-E-B Center at Cedar Park, the home of LOVB Austin.

Opposition guide
Currently sat two spots above Austin, Houston have demonstrated resilience and skill in their inaugural season, notably achieving a reverse sweep victory in their first match.
They currently hold a 3-2 record, placing them third in the standings — and are looking to achieve back-to-back wins this evening after beating LOVB Madison last time out (3-0).
Tonight’s visitors are coached by Massimo Barbolini, who boasts experience managing in both Turkey and Italy.
Previously at the helm of the Italy women’s national volleyball team, Barbolini won the 2007 and 2009 Women’s European Volleyball Championships.
Anything else to know?
Austin will be looking to climb the table by picking up a positive result against Houston in Cedar Park.
Their form has been inconsistent so far, with two wins and three defeats from their opening five games.
But there is still plenty of time for the Texans to improve, of course — and Madi will also want to bolster her personal tally in Gameweek 5 and beyond.
She is currently the top points scorer for LOVB Austin, having amassed 58 points and registered 47 kills in 2025.
