NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt volleyball’s year of firsts continues with the Commodores’ participation in the inaugural Broadway Block Party women’s college volleyball tournament on Aug. 31 at Bridgestone Arena, the Nashville Sports Council and ESPN Events announced Tuesday.
“I want to extend a huge thank you to the Nashville Sports Council for including us in the inaugural Broadway Block Party,” head coach Anders Nelson said. “Competing in Bridgestone Arena will be an extra special experience for our athletes and staff as we proudly rep the SEC in front of our home crowd.”
