ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA, an official partner of the NCAA®, announced the debut of the fifth episode of The Rivalries, a docu-series that highlights the lesser-known but no less intense rivalries in college sports. "Battle of the Saints," which premieres Wednesday, November 30 at 8:00 p.m. ET, offers a behind-the-scenes look into the volleyball rivalry between the St. Mary's Rattlers of San Antonio and the St. Edward's Hilltoppers of Austin as they compete for each point both on and off the courts.
Nestled in two of the largest cities in Texas, the St. Mary's and St. Edward's private universities go head-to-head in a yearly battle in the NCAA DII Lone Star Conference where teams compete to earn a point for each win in all sports. At the end of the year, the institution with the most points wins the coveted Lone Star tournament champion title – bringing this rivalry to the next level.
The Rivalries series is available free and exclusively on the NCAA Championships Channel (Channel 100) via LG Channels on LG Smart TVs. Each episode highlights a different sports rivalry as told through interviews, historical moments, and the most recent game footage.
