The Galen gala

USC's Galen Center opens Thursday, and FSN Prime Ticket has decided to bring more than just coverage of the Trojan women's volleyball match against Stanford (7 p.m.) as the first event. In a half-hour pregame show (6:30 p.m.) the sports network will take a handheld camera for a point-of-view perspective of the facility from the main entrance into one of the 10,000-plus seats. Lindsay Soto hosts it, with women's volleyball coach Mick Haley, USC athletic director Mike Garrett, and USC volleyball alumns Tim Hovland, Steve Obradovich and Jen Kessey.
As for the match between the No. 4-ranked Trojans and No. 6-ranked Cardinal, Jim Watson will do play-by-play with Karch Kiraly and Holly McPeak as the analysts.
