SEATTLE — Seattle University volleyball and fourth-year head coach Michelle Cole announced the 2023 season schedule on Thursday.
The Redhawks' slate is comprised of 27 regular season matches, featuring eight Western Athletic Conference (WAC) dates at the Redhawk Center, and boasts seven teams ranked among last season's NCAA RPI Top 150.
"Our team is excited to tackle what is going to be a challenging series of matches," said Cole. "This schedule features a rugged preseason, tough travel days and the always thrilling WAC brawls. We've worked hard during the offseason, and are determined to fight for each and every match."
The Redhawks start the 2023 campaign with 13 matches at neutral or road venues, kicking off the season against Idaho (8/25), North Dakota State (8/26) and UC Riverside (8/26) at the Idaho VB Classic in Moscow, Idaho. They'll make the cross-state trip the following weekend, taking part in the EWU Tournament against Eastern Washington (9/1), Pacific (9/1) and Nevada (9/2) in Cheney, Wash. A two match trip to Bozeman, Mont., for matchups with Montana State on Sept. 7 & 8 follows before non-conference play concludes with contests against Middle Tennessee (9/15), George Mason (9/16) and Albany (9/16) in Fairfax, Va.
