Rebel Volleyball To Hold Open Scrimmage Saturday

8/15/2008 | Volleyball

OXFORD, Miss. The Rebel volleyball team will be holding an open scrimmage at the Gillom Sports Center on Saturday at 4:00 p.m. following the annual Meet the Rebels event on campus at the University of Mississippi.

 

The scrimmage is open to the public and is an opportunity for fans to catch their first glimpse of the team in action as the Rebels look to return to the NCAA Tournament for the third straight season in 2008.

 

“We’ll be at the Indoor Facility for Meet the Rebels day and decided that during the lull between the team activities it would be a good time for fans to come on over to the Gillom Center and see our team in action,” said Ole Miss head coach Joe Getzin.

 

The Rebels are coming off a record setting season as Ole Miss went 25-8 on the year and posted a 14-6 mark in Southeastern Conference play. The third place finish in the overall standings was the highest finish for the program since the 1982 season and saw the Rebels earn a second-consecutive NCAA Tournament berth.

 

Ole Miss will open the 2008 season on August 29, when the Rebels travel to participate in the Panther Invitational at UW-Milwaukee. Ole Miss and UW-Milwaukee will play at 1:30 p.m. to open the tournament.
