UH plays USC Friday and Saturday at Stan Sheriff Center. Both matches start at 7 p.m.

It will be the final two matches of the 2009 season and Saturday will be coach Mike Wilton's final match as UH coach. He is retiring from UH after 17 seasons.

Senior citizens will need to show a valid identification card and UHAA members a Alumni Association membership card when purchasing tickets at Stan Sheriff Center Box Office (through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.) or on the night of the matches.

Tickets are in special sections and supplies are limited. Other restrictions may apply. UH Students receive a free ticket to men's volleyball by showing their valid ID at the ticket office.

GIVEAWAYS AND PROMOTIONS

The match sponsor Friday is Jack In The Box and the first 2,000 fans to enter the arena will receive a Jack In The Box cut-out magnet.

The match sponsor on Saturday is Pepsi. At the start of the second game, fans can purchase a 32 oz. Pepsi for the price of a 20 oz. Pepsi until the beginning of the third game. This includes the 10-minute break after the second game.
