The Louisiana Tech Men's Club Volleyball team is off to a hot start. Following a record-setting tryout with over 55 students in attendance, returning D1 National Coach of the Year, Caleb Wug, released the official roster for the 2023 season. Last year, the team hosted the state's first ever Conference Tournament and made their first appearance at the Nationals Tournament in Kansas City, MO. While the Dawgs would have liked to end the season with a few more wins under their belt, the team gained valuable experience and are now more hungry than ever.
This year, Coach Wug added the highest count of Freshmen to the team compared to previous seasons, with 7 Freshmen ready to take the court. Returning members for the A-Team are also at an alltime high, paving the way for an experienced roster ready to make their mark at this year's Conference Championship Tournament and their return to Nationals.
