Eleven non-conference matches against schools from seven different leagues, including a home match against B1G 10 power and 2024 Sweet Sixteen participant Oregon highlight the 2025 Montana State Volleyball schedule, announced head coach Matt Houk on Tuesday afternoon.
Along with Oregon, the Bobcats face two additional schools- South Dakota, Sacramento State- that advanced to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, last fall.
“This year’s schedule will be another tough one,” Houk said. “Schools like Oregon, South Dakota, and Oregon State will provide some good early season tests for us. My hope in the preseason is to always find out where we stand. What are our strengths and weaknesses.”
Montana State hosts two tournaments in non-conference action. The 2025 EVEN Hotel Invite, Aug. 29-31, features MSU, UO, USD and Prairie View A&M. The EVEN Hotel Classic, Sept. 18-20, welcomes Nevada and Santa Clara. The Bobcats will also see action in two road tournaments at Gonzaga, Sept. 4-6, and Oregon State, Sept. 11-13.
“I like that we are home to start and finish the preseason slate before conference kicks off,” Houk said. “The Big Sky should be strong again. I am looking forward to battle each and every night during Big Sky play, and I am excited to see what kind of a run our team can make.”
The Bobcats open Big Sky play at Eastern Washington, Sept. 24 in Cheney. MSU hosts Portland State, Sept. 27, in its league home opener. Big Sky Conference volleyball features 16 regular season matches. The Bobcats face Sacramento State and Idaho once this fall, while playing home/away contests against the other Big Sky schools.
The annual Cat-Griz matches are Oct. 11 in Missoula, and Nov. 7 in Bozeman’s Brick Breeden Fieldhouse.
