QUICK HITS • Texas Tech enters its 39th season of volleyball Friday when the Red Raiders begin the 2013 campaign against Sacred Heart in the opening match of the Titan Classic, hosted by Cal State Fullerton. Tech will also face Bucknell on Saturday before closing the two-day tournament against the host team, Cal State Fullerton, Saturday night.
• The Red Raiders will look to continue a successful tradition in season openers as Texas Tech is 29-13 all-time in the first game of the season. Tech is 1-2 in such games under head coach Don Flora.
• Texas Tech will be facing two first-time opponents this weekend in Sacred Heart and Bucknell. The Red Raiders will also play Cal State Fullerton for the second time in school history. The Titans lead the all-time series, 1-0, after a 3-0 victory a season ago.
• Texas Tech has found significant success in non-conference tournaments under Flora, who has led the Red Raiders to a 26-10 mark in such matches during his three seasons. In 11 tournament appearances under Flora, Tech has claimed six tournament titles.
• Texas Tech boasts its most experienced lineup of Don Flora’s tenure as the Red Raiders return 12 letterwinners, five of them seniors, and a multitude of players who started multiple games for the Red Raiders in 2013. • Under Flora, Tech has an impressive 14-5 record in non-conference competition on neutral courts, a mark the Red Raiders will look to improve this weekend. • After redshirting at Ole Miss in 2012 and sitting for the 2013 season due to NCAA transfer rules, sophomore Lauren Douglass will get her first taste of live NCAA action this weekend.
