On August 25, the Arkansas State Athletics Department will transform the popular Southwest Drive venue of Lost Pizza Co. into a lively hub for Red Wolf fans, combining live volleyball action with a women’s soccer showcase.

Head volleyball coach Brian Gerwig, the 2024 Sun Belt Coach of the Year who guided the team to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2015, and head women’s soccer coach Brian Dooley, a two‑time Sun Belt Coach of the Year, will join the event, sharing insights and answering questions from the crowd.
The program includes a one‑hour radio segment on 95.3/96.9 FM, with volleyball analysis beginning at 6:00 p.m. and soccer commentary from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., followed by a 30‑minute fan engagement period at 7:00 p.m. where attendees can collect free 2026 season posters for autographs.
