Allstate Sugar Bowl Volleyball

The Allstate Sugar Bowl has been involved with the volleyball scene for many years, and 2018 will again see the organization sponsor a pair of major events in the sport. In addition to continuing to sponsor the Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Volleyball Classic, hosted by Tulane University, the Sugar Bowl Committee was the title sponsor for an AAU Girls Volleyball Super Regional, hosted by Louisiana Volleyball, at Loyola University on Memorial Day weekend, for the eighth year in a row.

Allstate Sugar Bowl Women’s Volleyball Collegiate Classic

The Allstate Sugar Bowl sponsored the 18th Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Volleyball Classic at Tulane University on September 6-8, 2019. Ole Miss held off tournament host Tulane in a hard-fought five-set thriller on Sunday afternoon to earn the title.

Tulane opened by winning two of the first three sets of the day, but the Rebels rallied to win the final two sets, each in extra points, to capture the title.

The Ole Miss outside hitting duo of senior Emily Stroup and freshman Anna Bair were honored with All-Tournament plaudits, while Stroup was crowned MVP of the weekend. The pair combined for 34 kills in the contest, as Stroup registered her first 20-kill match of the season. Stroup added four blocks and 15 digs, recording her third double-double of the season.

Tulane was led by senior Kaylie McHugh who was named the defensive MVP of the tournament. She finished the championship contest with a match-high 25 digs and 12 assists. Freshman Lauryn Green had 13 kills with a pair of blocks in the final and joined McHugh on the all-tournament team.
