Less than two years after Purdue volleyball coach Dave Shondell jokingly quipped about playing a match at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the Boilermakers will be center stage in the some of the state capital’s most prestigious venues.

“The release of the Big Ten volleyball schedule is always an exciting moment, but this year feels especially significant,” said Head Coach Adam Hughes. “With the defending national champion in Penn State and eight NCAA Tournament teams from last year, the depth of this conference is as strong as ever.”

The Terrapins will open their 20-match conference slate with three consecutive road match-ups. Maryland begins the season on Thursday, Sept. 25, against Iowa, followed by a trip to Nebraska on Saturday, Sept. 27. The Terps then head to New Jersey for a match against Rutgers on Friday, Oct. 3.

Maryland kicks off October with four consecutive home contests, starting with a visit from defending national champion Penn State on Sunday, Oct. 5. The Terps will then host Illinois on Friday, Oct. 10, followed by Wisconsin on Sunday, Oct. 12. They wrap up the home stand on Wednesday, Oct. 15 with a second matchup against Rutgers.

The Terps will travel to East Lansing to take on Michigan State on Sunday, Oct. 19 before heading to the West Coast. There, they will face USC on Thursday, Oct. 23 and UCLA on Saturday, Oct. 25.

“We’re thrilled for our first-ever trips to UCLA and USC, expanding our reach in this new era of Big Ten volleyball,” said Hughes. “With the possibility that this could be the final season of the 20-match conference slate, every match carries a little extra weight.”

Maryland wraps up October with a home matchup against Indiana on Friday, Oct. 31.

The Terps open November with a trip to the Midwest to face Northwestern on Sunday, Nov. 2. They return home for back-to-back matches against Ohio State on Friday, Nov. 7 and Michigan on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Maryland then hits the road for back-to-back contests, playing Purdue on Friday, Nov. 14 and Indiana on Sunday, Nov. 16.

The Terps close out the final month of conference play with a home match against Minnesota on Friday, Nov. 21, followed by a road trip to State College to face Penn State on Sunday, Nov. 23. Maryland concludes the regular season with home matches against Washington on Wednesday, Nov. 26 and Oregon on Friday, Nov. 28.

Game times and television designations will be announced at a later date.

The program returns top contributors from the 2024 season, like Sydney Bryant, Katie Scherer, Ally Williams, Eva Rohrbach, and Jonna Spohn. The program also welcomes a strong transfer class, welcoming Ajack Malual (Tennessee), Haley Melby (Kentucky), Olivia Ruy (Arkansas) and Annika Sokol (UTSA) to College Park.

TAMPA, Fla. (May 28, 2025) – University of South Florida student-athletes continue to raise the bar in the classroom, delivering another record-breaking academic performance during the spring 2025 semester.

USF Athletics posted a department-wide term GPA of 3.45, marking the 21st consecutive semester that Bulls student-athletes have earned a 3.00 or higher.

Additionally, the department’s cumulative GPA climbed to 3.36 following the spring term — the highest mark ever recorded in USF Athletics history. The cumulative GPA measures the average among active student-athletes. All varsity programs earned a 3.00 cumulative GPA or higher through the spring 2025 semester.

“We continue to be tremendously proud of the dedication our student-athletes show in the classroom,” said USF Vice President for Athletics Michael Kelly. “Achieving the highest cumulative GPA on record while competing at a championship level speaks volumes about the culture of excellence our coaches, academic staff, and student-athletes have built and sustained.”

Three teams also recorded their best-ever semester GPAs: baseball (3.40), football (3.25), and women’s soccer (3.64) each posted their highest-ever term GPA this spring. Meanwhile, men’s basketball, football, and beach volleyball each reached their highest-ever cumulative GPA following the semester — further proof of the department-wide momentum in the classroom.

Men’s teams achieved a 3.31 semester GPA, while women’s teams excelled with a 3.61. Men’s tennis recorded the highest men’s GPA at 3.53, while beach volleyball led all women’s programs with a 3.81 GPA during the spring semester.

More than 84% of student-athletes recorded a 3.00 GPA or better this spring, and 361 were named to the athletic department’s honor roll.

Fifty-three student-athletes earned degrees this spring, including 51 bachelor’s degrees, one post-bachelor’s certificate, and one master’s degree.

Earlier this month, USF Athletics also set a record with six programs — men’s cross country, men’s golf, men’s tennis, women’s basketball, women’s golf, and women’s tennis — earning perfect multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The APR is a real-time measure of eligibility, retention, and graduation for student-athletes.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – With the 2025 season just a few months away, NM State Volleyball made a new addition to its coaching staff. Head Coach Mike Jordan announced Chelsea Rose will be joining the bench alongside him ahead of the fall campaign. Rose couples Lia Mosher as former Aggies on the staff, with the two both gracing the Pan American Center floor in the 2010s.
 
Chelsea Rose, on returning to the Aggie bench as an assistant coach: “I’m incredibly excited to return to New Mexico State as an assistant. This university holds a special place in my heart, and coming back feels like a homecoming. The opportunity to work alongside Coach Jordan and contribute to the growth of our student-athletes is both a privilege and a responsibility I take seriously. I look forward to building on the strong traditions here and helping create an environment where our players can thrive both on and off the court.”
 
Chelsea Rose is a native of Bakersfield, Calif., attending Liberty High School and graduating in 2008. After two seasons at Bakersfield College that included a 20-7 campaign and a conference championship, she came to the City of Crosses to play under Jordan’s tutelage. In 2010, the club finished 18-13 overall, but impressed with a 12-4 mark in WAC play after wins in nine of its first 10 conference matches.
 
The setter graduated from NM State shortly after with a degree in psychology. In 2017, she returned as a volunteer assistant for Lia Mosher‘s first season with the Crimson & White. The following year, Rose spent the fall as an assistant coach at Lamar. The first-year Cardinal helped nearly double the program’s win total from 2017, guiding the club to a 7-5 home record. 
 
In 2019, Rose returned to her alma mater, reuniting with Jordan as the director of player development. The California native spent three seasons in the role, overseeing academics, travel arrangements, personal development plans and recruiting for the program. In her time back with NM State, the Aggies claimed three regular-season WAC titles and made a trip to the 2019 NCAA Tournament after taking the conference tournament crown. All three campaigns, Rose assisted Mosher from the bench that the two will now share as assistant coaches.
 
Since her last season with the Aggies, Rose has been the head coach for Texas Performance Volleyball Club. She led the group to multiple national rankings and four Elite Eight finishes at USA Volleyball National Qualifiers, ensuring several Division I scholarships for her athletes across the nation.
 
Head Coach Mike Jordan, on the addition of Chelsea Rose to the coaching staff: “Chelsea is obviously in a different role than before, and I’m very happy to have her back. She is going to have a lot more responsibility now, but I know that she is more than capable. I’m excited to have her back in Las Cruces.”
