The Fresno State volleyball team has announced their schedule for the 2007 season and will kickoff the year Friday, August 24 traveling to Seattle, Wash. facing tough competition in the University of Washington Tournament. Teams featured in the tournament include San Francisco, Cal State Northridge and Washington.
Fresno State continues action through September and will highlight the month traveling to Manhattan, Kan. playing in the Kansas State Tournament. The Bulldogs will begin conference play at home September 13 against New Mexico State who finished second in the WAC with a 33-4 overall record.
October will be a tough test as the Bulldogs play only two of the month's nine matches at home. Included in this stretch are non-conference home and away matches with Division-I newcomer Cal State Bakersfield. October will also feature the traditional exhibition match at perennial NAIA power Fresno Pacific. Fresno State will finish up its season with conference play in the month of November.
The Bulldogs will conclude the regular season at University of Pacific's Banker's Classic on November 23 and 24. In the first round the Bulldogs will play UOP and St. Mary's will play Cincinnati.
WAC Tournament play will begin November 15 at New Mexico State. NCAA first and second round action will follow in the month of December.
"We have been able to put together an exciting and challenging schedule. I like the blend that includes, PAC-10 opponents as well as our rivals here in the valley," said head coach Ruben Nieves. "Of course our primary goal will be to move up in the WAC standings and contend for the conference title."
