NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana — Xavier University of Louisiana announced Wednesday a venue change for its home match this weekend in the 2016 NAIA Volleyball National Championship Opening Round.
The Gold Nuggets (16-16) and Saints (30-11) will play at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Convocation Center (7900 Stroelitz St., New Orleans, La. 70125). The Convocation Center, which opened in 2012 and seats nearly 4,000 with all-chairback seating, is the primary home of XULA volleyball.
XULA previously announced that the match would be played on campus at its Fitness Center.
"Even with a full day of homecoming events on our campus this weekend, we felt that the volleyball match in the NAIA national tournament is a signature event," said Jason Horn, XULA director of athletics & recreation.
Tickets to the match will cost $5. Students of both universities and XULA faculty and staff will be admitted free. This is the first time that XULA will host an NAIA National Championship event on its campus.
