Third-year women’s volleyball coach\u00a0Carrie Bert<\/strong>\u00a0has announced her team’s 27-match schedule for the 2017 season.<\/p>\n

The Royals continue their long-standing tradition of opening the year by hosting the EMU Invitational. This year’s six-team, two-day event is Sept. 1 and 2 in Yoder Arena, with Eastern Mennonite playing Catholic, Salem, Methodist and Mary Baldwin.<\/p>\n

The following weekend, the women make a new visit to Ohio, playing matches in Cleveland and Berea at the 19th Annual Marcia French Memorial Invitational, co-hosted by Case Western Reserve and Baldwin Wallace. EMU also plays Hiram and Mount Union on trip.<\/p>\n

ODAC play begins just days later, starting at traditional power Washington and Lee on Sept. 12. The women are also at Hollins and Roanoke on Sept. 15 and 16, respectively.<\/p>\n

After an 18-day break the Royals finally return home with a tough contest against Randolph-Macon on Sept. 21. The Yellow Jackets have won the past two ODAC Championships, each year finishing 11-0 during the regular season.<\/p>\n

Due to scheduling conflicts in Yoder Arena, the volleyball women will not play a home match during EMU’s Centennial Homecoming Weekend, instead\u00a0hosting Ferrum College on Thursday, Oct. 12, before the festivities officially start on campus.<\/p>\n

The Royals host a tri-match against Randolph and Dickinson on Oct. 21, and play in one in Lancaster, Pa., on Oct. 7, tangling with Lancaster Bible and Wilson College.<\/p>\n

Other home opponents include North Carolina Wesleyan, Guilford, Virginia Wesleyan and Lynchburg.<\/p>\n

EMU’s finale home match of the year is against Mary Baldwin on Oct. 26, with the regular season wrapping at rival Bridgewater the following day.<\/p>\n

The ODAC Tournament starts Nov. 1.<\/p>\n

The Royals finished last year with a record of 10-19, earning their most wins since 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
