CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College Volleyball returns to the court this weekend as they travel to Memphis to compete in the Carrie Yerty Classic, their first road contest of the season.

Inside the Match-Up
Memphis
The Eagles will travel to Memphis for the second meeting in program history on Sept. 11 as part of the Carrie Yerty Classic.

Memphis currently has a 1-4 record, earning its first victory of the season at the Sawyer Camillo Memorial Classic.
