Volleyball Rounds Out 2025 Schedule With Non-Conference Slate

GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina volleyball team will play 11 non-conference matches in the fall in addition to its previously announced 16-match American Athletic Conference schedule.
 

The Pirates begin the campaign with an exhibition match at Old Dominion Aug. 20th before opening the regular season in Virginia with three contests against Florida A&M (Aug. 29), Maryland Eastern Shore (Aug. 29) and host Hampton (Aug. 30). ECU then heads west to the mountains Sept. 4-5 for a trio of games versus Furman, UNC Asheville and West Georgia.
 

Non-league action continues Sept. 12-13 when the Pirates travel to Williamsburg to face off with William & Mary and Liberty. A midweek affair with Wake Forest Sept. 16 marks the squad’s 2025 home opener while two subsequent matchups with Kansas State (Sept. 20) and North Carolina (Sept. 21) in Chapel Hill provide two final tests before East Carolina heads to the Sunshine State for its first two conference matches at South Florida (Sept. 26) and Florida Atlantic (Sept. 28).
 
The Pirates return eight players from a 2024 team that produced a 19-10 overall record and 11-5 AAC mark before serving as a National Invitational Volleyball Championship First Round and Super 16 host for the second consecutive season. ECU finished third in the league standings – its best placement since joining the conference in 2014.
