Utes to Face Challenging Schedule in 2011:
The Utes will host 17 matches at Crimson Court during the 2011 regular season, including a pair of tournaments: the Utah Classic on Aug. 26-27 and the Utah Invitational on Sept. 9-10. The final match of the Utah Invite will be against BYU at 7 p.m. on Sept. 10. In between the home tournaments, the Utes will take on an international team Nova KBM Maribor, Slovenia on Aug. 30.
"Utah fans, and volleyball fans in general, are in for a treat," Launiere said. "Some of the best volleyball in the country will be played at Crimson Court."
Utah's first Pac-12 match will be Sept. 13 at Colorado. First serve from Boulder is set for 7 p.m. MT.
After traveling to Stanford and California on Sept. 16-17, the Utes will host their first Pac-12 match at Crimson Court against Oregon State on Sept. 23. The NCAA Tournament begins Dec. 1 with the first and second rounds. The NCAA Championship will be held at the Alamodome in San Antonio Texas, Dec. 17-19.
"One thing I'm looking forward to is coming into the conference as a relative unknown entity to the other Pac-12 teams," Launiere said. "This year, no one knows what we're going to do. That gives us some ability to fly under the radar a bit as we learn about the Pac-12 Conference. As much as we don't know everything we're going to face, the other teams don't know our abilities and what Utah Volleyball is all about. That's a good position to be in.
"We've always played a strong schedule and never shied away from facing great competition," Launiere said. "We're really looking forward to playing the great volleyball teams of the Pac-12 weekly. We're ready."
