🔼 Serve’s Up. LSU beach volleyball assistant coach Cati Leak was named to the annual AVCA Thirty Under 30 list—honoring up-and-coming volleyball coaching talent at all levels of the sport.

Cati Leak has been an assistant coach with the Tigers since the 2019 season in a stretch where LSU has never been outside of the AVCA Top 10. Every year that she has coached has ended with a trip to Gulf Shores at the NCAA Championship with the Tigers. LSU was ranked No. 1 during when the 2020 season came to a shortened end.

On the court, she’s coached five All-Americans at LSU, including the pair of Kristen Nuss and Taryn Kloth who went undefeated in 2021 and won AVCA Pair of the Year. She has also coached 10 pairs that have earned AVCA Top Flight honors.

Undefeated no more. With 67 days until football season starts, let’s take a ride in the Wayback Machine and revisit the 1967 season for LSU football.

The year ended on a (very) high note as the Tigers beat a previously undefeated team in the Sugar Bowl.

Our question today—who was that team?
