EVANSVILLE, Ind. – An exciting home opener against Indiana University highlights the 2017 University of Evansville volleyball schedule.
The home opener versus the Hoosiers is set to take place on Friday, September 8 at 7 p.m. as part of the Dunn Hospitality Invitational. It will be the first game at the newly-remodeled Meeks Family Fieldhouse while also marking the naming ceremony for Lois D. Patton Court.
"I am excited for this year's schedule, as it offers a good balance and preparation for our 2017 fall roster," Purple Aces head coach Manolo Concepcion explained. "The majority of teams that we are facing in Pre-Season simulate the type of opponents that we will face in the MVC, so it allows us to get tested right away and opens the door for the six new players we have to transition effectively into what is considered to be the best mid major conference in the nation.
