LSU’s volleyball team suffered a brutal three-set sweep at the hands of Michigan State, marking a sharp contrast to their dominant 1991 win over the same opponent. After starting strong with two home victories, the Tigers struggled on the road, plagued by service errors and poor kill conversion rates—even star player Jurnee Robinson, Player of the Week, had an off night. Michigan State’s offense, spearheaded by Karolina Staniszewska, overwhelmed LSU’s defense across all sets. Though the loss stings, Coach Tonya Johnson knows it’s just one game early in the season. The Tigers have a chance to rebound soon against Michigan on September 2nd—proof they’re still building toward something special.

Reese Alston, the elite point guard ranked eighth overall in the 2027 class and third-best PG nationally, is heating up with explosive scoring, double-team splits, and relentless paint attacks. Son of NBA legend Rafer “Skip to My Lou” Alston, Reese’s junior season stats—22 PPG, 5 RPG, 3.8 APG—prove his pedigree. LSU’s Will Wade has built strong rapport with him, and Reese sees a perfect NBA pathway through Baton Rouge. With strength training underway and elite two-way impact already on display, Alston’s official visit this weekend could be a pivotal moment in his rise.

LSU soccer stunned the nation with a gritty road tie against Arizona, snapping a three-game losing streak thanks to the return of veteran defenders Jazmin Ferguson and Jocelyn Ollivierre. The Tigers struck first via Senai Rodgers’ assist to Ava Galligan before halftime, then held firm without a single save from goalkeeper Audur Scheving as Arizona bombarded the net. Arizona equalized in the 65th minute, but neither side could break the deadlock. The draw gives LSU a 1-4-1 record and sets the stage for a crucial showdown against Baylor — with experience and grit back in the lineup, the Tigers are ready to turn the corner.
