Looks about right. I hope that NMSU can rebound and have a much better season than last year.

Think Jax State and SHSU will surprise some people, don’t expect either to finish worse than sixth. SHSU had a down season last year but should return to form with the talent coming back. Kats host HBU in exhibition on Saturday.

Expect Liberty, UTEP and especially WKU to be tough (ranked No. 24 preseason).

Hope we can help keep this a multi-bid league!!

Pretty sure JaX State has a new coach this year. This will have an effect on the team maybe to the positive.

Lots of Exhibition matches this weekend.

Jax State was swept at Troy 3-0 (25-20, 25-20. 25-23), WKU lost to Kentucky 3-1 in Lexington.

FIU is home vs Barry and MTSU home vs Evansville today.

Saturday sees NMSU host Western NM, Liberty hosts Campbell, UTEP hosts Grand Canyon and SHSU hosts Houston Christian.

Sunday has La Tech home vs Northwestern St.

UTEP defeated Grad Canyon and NMSU defeated Western New Mexico. UTEP's win is just a tab more impressive.

Lots of action starting next Friday.

Very solid first day for the CUSA in total. Congrats ladies.

Wow, I'm really impressed with how Utep has been playing and that they're considered the second best team in the conference after a ranked Wku team. We've never been known to field a good volleyball team. I'm glad we're coming into our own.

Congrats to our ladies.

After a good first day, not so good 2nd day of the season. Jax St loss to a MEAC team is a tough one. SHSU going 0-2 on the day vs the WCC and Southland is not great either.
