WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue volleyball head coach Dave Shondell has unveiled the 2025 non-conference slate, highlighted by four home showdowns, six road matchups, all kicking-off with a preseason exhibition in West Lafayette on August 15. The Boilermakers will welcome Georgia Tech to Holloway Gymnasium for a highly anticipated home opener on Wednesday, September 3.

Purdue will take on four NCAA tournament teams during non-conference play, including three teams that appeared in the NCAA Second Round last year: Georgia Tech (9/3), Kansas (9/5) and SMU (9/14). Meanwhile, three teams were ranked in the top-22 of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) final poll: No. 12 Kansas, No. 15 SMU and No. 22 Georgia Tech.

“Our team looks forward to another challenging non-conference schedule that will encourage our athletes to develop daily and entertain our fans each gameday,” said Shondell. “With four NCAA tournament teams in our first five matches, our players and coaches understand the magnitude of the off-season training and I know our 18 athletes will embrace the journey. Our non-conference schedule is brutal for a crew of young players, but the docket is designed specifically to enhance growth and provide our amazing fans with convenient opportunities to watch the Boilermakers compete.”

The Boilermakers will host the Valparaiso Beacons for an exhibition match on Friday, August 15 before the season officially begins.

Coming off one of its best seasons in program history with a 27-7 (16-4 Big Ten) record and a fourth-place finish in the league standings, the Boilermakers return 2024 Second Team All-Big Ten honoree Taylor Anderson, who not only ranked No. 8 in the nation in assists per set (11.25), but guided Purdue to its third-highest hitting % in single-season history (.280%). In addition to returning rising stars, which include Kenna Wollard, Ryan McAleer and Grace Heaney, Shondell’s incoming freshmen and transfer class set Purdue up to tie the tallest team in over 22 years, with an average front court height of 6’2″.

Checking in at No. 8 in the nation in average attendance in 2024, Purdue’s season ticket holder renewals will begin June 3 and will close July 18. Fans looking to join the waiting list can do so by contacting the Hayes Family Ticket Office at 765-494-3194. The single-season ticket on-sale date will be released at a later time.

THE WEEK-BY-WEEK BREAKDOWN

The 2025 season will begin in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Friday, August 29, where the team will take on South Florida before traveling to Nashville for the Broadway Block Party, which Purdue will face Tennessee at approximately 2:30 p.m. ET (30 minutes following the Nebraska vs. Kentucky match at 12 p.m.) on ESPN2.

Purdue will spend Week 2 in West Lafayette, hosting Georgia Tech, Bowling Green and Kansas for the Stacey Clark Classic from Wednesday, September 3 through Friday, September 5. The tournament features two top-22 ranked teams with Georgia Tech finishing last season ranked No. 22 in the AVCA poll and Kansas No. 12.

The Boilermakers will have a Tuesday midweek at Butler on September 9 before traveling to Lexington, Kentucky to take on Houston on Saturday, September 13 and SMU on Sunday, September 14, a team that finished No. 15 in the AVCA final poll in December.

The non-conference season will wrap up with an away/home pairing for Week 4, which will begin with a Friday evening match at Ball State followed by hosting IU Indy at home on Sunday, September 21.

There will be four chances to catch Purdue at home during the non-conference season, hosting Georgia Tech, Bowling Green and Kansas for the Stacey Clark Classic and IU Indy as the final match before Big Ten action begins.

Purdue’s Big Ten slate and television selections will be released at a later date.

Home Opponents: Georgia Tech (9/3), Bowling Green (9/4), Kansas (9/5), IU Indy (9/21)

True Road Opponents: Butler (9/9), Ball State (9/19)

Neutral Site Opponents: USF (8/29), Tennessee (8/31), Houston (9/13), SMU (9/14)
