FORT WAYNE, Ind. - The 2024 Purdue Fort Wayne women's volleyball schedule has been announced.
The slate for Steve Florio's 11th season as head coach features 31 regular season matches, including 18 Horizon League contests. The Mastodons are at home for 12 matches, on the road for 13 true road games, and have six more matches for neutral site games in tournaments. The Horizon League schedule is revamped this year, mimicking the format of the spring 2021 season, as league teams will play two matches against each of the others, with only the travel partners playing home and home. Every other team will play the same team on back-to-back days in one location with a return trip next season.
Ticket information for 2024 can be found at gomastodons.com/tickets.
The season begins with an exhibition at Xavier on August 24. The regular season begins in Boston on August 30 at Stonehill's tournament, where the Mastodons will play the Skyhawks, Siena and Holy Cross. The following week, the Mastodons will visit an old rival at Western Illinois to play a smattering of old league foes. The 'Dons will face off against former Horizon League foe UIC and former Summit League opponents Western Illinois and South Dakota State. On September 13-14, the Mastodons will play against Cornell, Miami (OH) and Valparaiso in the Beacons' tournament.
The final road trip of the non-league season is a standalone match at Michigan State on September 17.
The Mastodons will host the Purdue Fort Wayne Invitational presented by Hyatt Place on September 20-21 and will be the first chance for fans to see the team on the Arnie Ball Court. The 'Dons will welcome Saint Francis (Pa.), Indiana State and Eastern Michigan to the Gates Sports Center for the six-match tournament.
Horizon League play opens at Robert Morris (Sept. 27-28) before the 'Dons welcome IU Indianapolis (Oct. 1) for the first time under the Jaguars' new monicker. A visit to Green Bay (Oct. 4-5) precedes a home pairing against Oakland (Oct. 11-12) and a road trip to Cleveland State (Oct. 18-19). Long-time rival Northern Kentucky visits the historic Gates Sports Center on October 25-26 before the 'Dons make the return trip to IU Indianapolis on October 29. The 'Dons host Milwaukee (Nov. 1-2), visit Wright State (Nov. 8-9) and welcome Youngstown State (Nov. 15-16) to wrap up the regular season.
The Horizon League Championship will be on November 22-24. The top six seeds will play at the No. 1 overall seed.
