Volleyball Announces 2025 Schedule

Wayne State will open the regular season with the Warrior Invitational on Sept. 5-6.

DETROIT -- Head coach Tim Koth and the Wayne State University volleyball program have announced the schedule for the upcoming 2025 season. The Warriors are set to play a total of 26 regular season matches, including 22 against Midwest Region opponents, 16 as part of GLIAC action and 12 at home inside the Matthaei Center.

"I believe our 2025 schedule, as in past years, is set up to give us the opportunity to meet NCAA criterion for postseason play, said Koth. "We open with an outstanding field for the Warrior Invitational and then head to New York for three matches against NCAA Tournament teams from last season. The GLIAC is one of the strongest conferences in NCAA Division II. This year, I believe the league will maybe be as competitively deep as it has ever been, which is exciting! It should make for some exciting matches in the Matthaei Arena this fall!"

The fall campaign kicks off on Sept. 5-6 with four matches in two days as part of the 10th installment of the Warrior Invitational (WSU has gone 23-8 in the previous nine). Wayne State will see Upper Iowa and Northwood on Friday before facing Cedarville and Winona State on day two. Then, WSU will continue its non-conference slate with three opponents at Daemen's Wildcat Classic on Friday-Saturday, Sept. 12-13. In Amherst, N.Y., the Warriors will be opposite Dallas Baptist (first-ever meeting), Clarion and the host Wildcats.

GLIAC wise, Wayne State will face the following teams twice including once at home and once on the road: Saginaw Valley State, Lake Superior State, Davenport, Ferris State, Grand Valley State, and Purdue Northwest. The Warriors will have just one regular-season meeting against Parkside (home), Roosevelt (home), Michigan Tech (away), and Northern Michigan (away). Those 16 league dates will sandwich WSU's three matches as part of the Midwest Regional Crossover in Hammond, Ind. on Oct. 17-18.

Following the conclusion of the regular season on Nov. 14 at home against PNW, the league's top four seeds will host a GLIAC Tournament quarterfinal contest on Nov. 19 with the winners advancing to the weekend. The top remaining seed will host the two semifinal matchups and the title match on Nov. 22-23.
