Utes are slated for a five-game non-conference homestand to begin the campaign
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Volleyball program announced its 2024 non-conference schedule today, which includes five home matches at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. With today's announcement, and the previously released conference schedule for the Utes' first year in the Big 12, Utah has 29 total matches scheduled, which begin on Saturday, Aug. 24. Big 12 Conference action gets underway on Sept. 26 at home against Texas Tech.
Â
In the 35th year under the direction of the program's all-time winningest head coach, Beth Launiere, Utah will face three NCAA Tournament teams from 2023 in non-conference action (Utah State, Purdue, and Coppin State), along with two programs that competed in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC) (UTEP and Wyoming).
Â
"I'm pleased with our preseason and Big 12 schedule and believe it will be both competitive and energizing," said head coach Beth Launiere. "We couldn't be more excited to get started in the Big 12, and I believe our preseason matches will prepare us well. Going into a new conference is interesting. There will be a learning curve of different coaching and playing styles, cities, and venues, but we have been preparing and are ready to go."
Â
The Utes will get warmed up with an exhibition against Utah Valley on Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Huntsman Center, preceding a five-match homestand that begins with the Utah Classic on Friday and Saturday Aug. 30-31. Utah will welcome UTEP and Utah State. On Friday evening, Utah will take on Miners at 7 p.m., then Saturday at 5 p.m. is first serve against the Aggies from Utah State. Playing their third match in three days, Utah will host Wisconsin-Green Bay on Sunday, Sept. 1.
Â
Utah will host a neutral site contest between the California Golden Bears and Purdue Boilermakers on Thursday, Sept. 5. Utah will then play their first of two matches of the weekend, taking on former Pac-12 foe Cal in the primetime slot on Thursday evening. Utah will round out its homestand with a match against Purdue on Friday, Sept. 6.
Â
Utah will hit the road for their first of six consecutive road matches of the non-conference portion of the schedule with a trip to the Windy City for the Loyala Chicago tournament, taking on the Ramblers back-to-back days on Friday and Saturday Sept. 13-14. The Utes will close out their first road trip taking on Northeastern on Sunday, Sept. 15.
Â
The Utes will make their final road trip of the non-conference portion of the schedule, traveling to Laramie for the University of Wyoming Tournament. Playing three matches in two days, Utah will get the action started on Friday, Sept. 20, with a pair of matches, first taking on the University of Albany.
