Yep... that's right. You are corrected. For the first time in school history, a NSU Lady Demon volleyball match will be broadcast on television.
Thanks to Tommy Hazelwood and KNTS Channel 17, NSU's match against McNeese State on Thursday will be taped delayed for replay for most of the day on Saturday and Sunday.
This just goes to show the advances NSU has over the other Southland Conference schools.
Sure, SFA has won three straight league titles and 52 consecutive matches. They also played in the NCAA Tournament last year. UTA has been to the NCAA Final Four. Texas State and UTSA are regular powers in the league while McNeese and Lamar hold their own.
But has any of them every been on TV? Don't think so.
This type of exposure is a positive in so many ways. Head coach Brittany Uffelman, in just her second year as head coach, has already done tremendous things with a program that continues to head into the right direction.
Now televised volleyball matches!
Kudos to Channel 17, NSU director of athletics Greg Burke, Coach Uffelman, and area businesses for their support to achieve a "first time it happened" for NSU and the Southland Conference.
