The 16th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks are hitting the road for the Lipscomb Tournament, opening against the host Bisons in Nashville today.

 

The Jayhawks opened their season last weekend against two top-five teams in Pitt and Stanford, dropping both matches in hard-fought four-set battles.

 

KU will look to bounce back today with plenty of new faces on the roster, as head coach Matt Ulmer brought in eight newcomers, including two transfers and six recruits. Ulmer says staying true to who he is helped the team buy in and want to be Jayhawks.

 

Ulmer has also praised his team’s hard work and commitment, and says those qualities helped the Jayhawks make a deep tournament run last season.

 

The Jayhawks will look for their first win of the season today against Lipscomb at 6 p.m., before facing Florida State Friday at 3 p.m.
