AZUSA, Calif. — Azusa Pacific University’s women’s volleyball team has officially released its 2025 schedule, featuring 27 regular season matches, a pair of high-profile tournaments, and 14 contests at the Felix Event Center. The Cougars will look to build on a strong tradition of competitiveness in the PacWest Conference as they begin their campaign on September 4th.

The season kicks off with the APU/CUI Tournament, hosted at home in Azusa, where the Cougars will face Montana State Billings, Texas Woman’s, Regis, and Western Oregon. Following that, the squad heads into a tough Biola-hosted tournament featuring top regional opponents like Cal State Dominguez Hills and Texas Permian Basin.

“This year’s schedule gives us a great mix of early challenges and key home matches,” said Head Coach Chris Keife. “We’re excited to compete in front of our fans and take our program to new heights.”

A key stretch includes the team’s annual trip to Hawai’i in early October and pivotal conference battles against rivals Biola, Point Loma, and Concordia. The season wraps up at home on November 15 against Dominican.

Below is the complete schedule for the 2025 season:

Yale Athletics

The Yale women’s volleyball team won their third straight Ivy League title this season. They cruised past their conference opponents during the regular season, only falling to Princeton in four sets and Cornell in five — both teams that they later crushed in the Ivy League Tournament.

In the past four years, the squad has accumulated an impressive 48–8 Ivy League record and three NCAA Tournament appearances under Head Coach Erin Appleman, who was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year in 2022 and 2023.

This season, the Bulldogs fell to North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Although they won the first set 25-18 with contributions from all hitters and a great service run from senior Cara Shultz ’25, known for her unique serve, they dropped the next three sets to the talented Tar Heels.

The five players in the class of 2025 — Shultz, Fatima Samb ’25, Bella Chan ’25, Mila Yarich ’25 and Carly Diehl ’25 — have earned American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Region, All-Ivy and All-Eastern College Athletic Conference accolades between them.
