Coming off a stellar performance in which the Mustangs won all three matches of their home tournament, SMU will play in the Aztec invitational hosted by San Diego State
this weekend.

SMU will put its 5-2 record to the test against San Francisco (1-5), Harvard (2-0) and Northeastern (3-4).

The Mustangs are led by Maddie Lozano, who earned back-to-back all-tournament honors with the SMU Invitaional MVP award and is leading the team with 20 blocks. Lozano is hitting .291 with 52 kills in 22 sets.

In her first year of collegiate action, Janelle Giordano has 50 kills with a .287 attack percentage for the season and tallied 10 blocks in the SMU Invitational — making her total 18.

Caroline Young leads the mustangs with 63 kills on the season.

Young and Lozano will undoubdtedly play an important role in the Aztec Invitational.

The last time SMU faced Harvard was in 1999; the Mustangs won a neutral-site match 3-0.

This was the first and only time SMU played Harvard, and the Mustangs have never faced Northeastern or San Francisco.

The Mustangs last trip to the west coast came in 2011, when SMU went 1-2 at a Long Beach State tournament.

SMU will face San Francisco on Friday, followed by Harvard and Northeastern on Saturday. The ladies will not return to action at SMU until Oct. 4, when they will square off with Louisville.
