BEAUMONT - Join the Lamar University volleyball team on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Buffalo Wild Wings where they will meet to watch the NCAA Volleyball Championship selection show which is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. on ESPNU.

The Lady Cardinals will be on hand to see who and where they will play in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Coaches and players will be available for interviews during and after the 64-team field and first-round pairings are announced.

The Lady Cardinals punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the fist time since the 1993 season when they won the Southland Conference Tournament with a 3-2 win over Texas State last Sunday. This is Lamar's first Southland Conference Tournament title since the 1984 season. Lamar is 17-11 on the year and went 12-4 in SLC play.

Locations for the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament will be announced during the Sunday night telecast. Those matches will take place at campus locations Dec. 4-7.
