TEMPE, Ariz. – Continuing non-conference play on the road, Arizona State volleyball will travel to Norman, Oklahoma to participate in the OU Nike Invitational from September 13-14, facing Louisiana, Oklahoma and Georgia Tech.
 
The Sun Devils (4-2) had a tough weekend in Louisville at the Fleur De Lis Tournament, going 1-2 in those matches. Courtney Leffel continued her strong defensive play, however, and was named to the all-tournament team for her efforts.
 
The OU Nike Invitational this weekend will have live stats for each match, but no live streaming will be available.
