INDIANAPOLIS - The UIndy volleyball team looks to start a new season on a high note by hosting the UIndy Invitational this weekend. The Greyhounds have four matches on tap, including three in-region bouts, across the two-day event.
 
The Hounds open the tournament against No. 24 Grand Valley at noon in Ruth Lilly on Friday. UIndy will follow the match with a contest against Tiffin and take on Indiana (PA) and Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday.
 
UIndy enters the season with a young team. The Greyhounds only have four upperclassmen on the team and welcome seven newcomers. All-GLVC Second Team honoree Sophia Parlanti returns to UIndy, as she led the team last year in kills with 340. Ellie Spang also returns to the Greyhounds this season. Spang, the team's primary libero last season, led the team in digs with 440 and service aces with 46.
