FULL SCHEDULE
TUSKEGEE, Alabama -- Tuskegee University second-year head coach Janay Yancey released the 2018 volleyball schedule Wednesday afternoon, featuring five tournaments.
"The early start gives us more time to gel and get acclimated with each other", head coach Janay Yancey said. "I like this schedule because a lot of teams we will face are in our regional rankings, which means we get a chance to face some really good competition that will hopefully springboard us into conference play", Yancey stated.
Just like last year, Tuskegee will open the season away from home. On August 25, they will travel to Livingston (Ala.) to square off with the University of West Alabama. Six days later, the Golden Tigers will come closer to home and complete in the annual Warhawk Invitational hosted by Auburn-Montgomery in Montgomery (Ala.) August 31 in a two-day tournament.
The busiest month by far comes in September which features 16 matches in a 30-day span. Albany State is the team's home opener on Sept. 4 with a 6 p.m. start time. TU will host one other opponent that month inside "Chappie James Arena" when Spring Hill College comes to town on Sept. 21. That match will also get underway at 6 p.m.
The Golden Tigers will participate in a pair of Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Clusters Sept. 14-15 and again on Oct. 12-13 before hosting rival Miles College Oct.19, one day prior to football's 94th Homecoming.
The 2018 season concludes Nov. 5-7 in Birmingham at the SIAC Volleyball Tournament inside the Birmingham CrossPlex.
