On Tuesday, Aug. 28, the women's valleyball match against Troy was postponed due to concerns with traveling in the inclement conditions caused by Hurricane Isaac.
The match was rescheduled to take place Sept. 4.
Before that, however, the Tigers went undefeated in the Green Bay Tournament last weekend, winning all three matches at the Kress Events Center.
The matches were the first three of the 2012-13 season.
MVP Camilla Jeronsky and junior Courtney McDonald combined for 30 kills.
"It was a battle tonight," Auburn head coach Rick Nold said after the team's match with Green Bay.
"I thought Green Bay played outstanding, great defense, very aggressive. In both the first and second games we were behind, and we battled back," Nold said. "We had talked about it before the game, what we wanted to see in terms of our intensity, and I thought that really showed at the end."
Senior Sarah Bullock was named to the All Tournament team with nine kills in the match and junior libero Sarah Wroblicky also earned an All-Tournament nod with 25 digs in the match and 61 total in the tournament.
This is the Tigers' first 3-0 start of the season since 2010.
Before the Tigers travel to Troy next week, The War Eagle Invitational is still scheduled for Friday, Aug. 31 and Saturday, Sept. 1.
The Tigers will play Georgia Southern at noon Friday.
Later in the day, the Tigers are slated to play High Point at 7 p.m.
The team will conclude the tournament against Jacksonville State at 1:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Invitational will be held at the Student Activities Center and admission is free for all six matches.
