SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Santa Clara volleyball is used to facing quality competition throughout the season, and will gear up for another challenging schedule this fall. The team's 2017 indoor slate, announced on Monday by head coach Jon Wallace, features contests against two of the nation's elite programs in Kansas and Washington as well as nine matches against 2016 NCAA Tournament participants.
The Jayhawks were the No. 5 overall seed in last year's postseason and the Huskies reached a regional final as the No. 8 overall seed.
Santa Clara begins its 30-match campaign with a trip to the East Coast and a stretch of two reigning NCAA Tournament participants in two days at the D.
