2025 Volleyball Schedule Announced

Syracuse will play a preseason scrimmage at Buffalo on Aug. 23 before officially beginning the 2025 campaign on Friday, Aug. 29 against Niagara.

"I think this group is very well worth supporting and coming to watch," Syracuse head coach Bakeer Ganesharatnam. "I'm not going to promise that we're going to win every single match. However, I make the promise that we will fight in every single match and for every single point. We will show passion, we will show grit, we will show effort and hard work – all things that our community can see themselves in. I think it's going to be a really fun team to watch and to support this season."
