@SunDevilVB Ready For Fleur De Lis Tournament in Louisville

TEMPE, Ariz. – Riding a perfect 3-0 start to the season, Arizona State volleyball is traveling to Louisville this weekend to compete in the Fleur De Lis Tournament on Friday and Saturday, playing Western Kentucky, Tennessee Tech and No. 24 Louisville.
 
The Sun Devils were the only team to go undefeated at the Flo Hyman Collegiate Cup last weekend in Houston. Courtney Leffel showed up big for ASU, earning a total of 83 digs over the three matches. Her efforts earned her the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week nod, the first of her career.
 
ASU will participate in the Fleur De Lis Tournament, which features four teams and is hosted by Louisville. All matches will be played at L&N Federal Credit Union Arena.
