Women’s Volleyball Announces 2025 Schedule
HONOLULU — The University of Hawai’i women’s volleyball team unveiled a 29-match 2025 regular-season schedule highlighted by 17 home games at SimpliFi Arena at Stan Sheriff Center.
Robyn Ah Mow enters her eighth season and ninth year overall as UH head coach with a schedule that features three nonconference tournaments leading into the program’s final season in the Big West.
Coming off a fifth straight Big West title, the Rainbow Wahine will have matchups with three teams that reached the 2024 NCAA Tournament and two more that competed in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. The nonconference schedule also includes a trip to Stanford to join the host Cardinal, UCLA and Texas State in a three-day tournament.
UH will open the 2025 season with an eight-match homestand starting with the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic set for Aug. 29-31. The ‘Bows take on Marquette, which reached the NCAA Tournament’s round of 16 last season, on opening night. They’ll also face Utah State and San Diego in the three-day event. Utah State tied for second in the Mountain West regular-season standings last season. San Diego tied for second in the West Coast Conference and will visit Mānoa for the third consecutive season.
The ‘Bows then host the OUTRIGGER Invitational Sept. 3 to 7 with matches against San Jose State, Utah Valley and St. John’s. San Jose State placed second in the Mountain West last year and Utah Valley and St. John’s both posted 20-win seasons on their way to the NIVC.
UH caps its season-opening homestand with a two-match series with Portland of the WCC on Sept. 11 and 12.
The ‘Bows’ first road trip will take them to Palo Alto, Calif., and they’ll open the weekend on Sept. 19 by taking on Stanford, which reached the NCAA Regional Finals last season and ended 2024 at No. 5 in the AVCA coaches poll. The ‘Bows then renew their long-standing rivalry with UCLA on Sept. 20 in the 79th meeting between the programs. They’ll close out the tournament and the nonconference portion of the season against defending Sun Belt champion Texas State.
UH opens the Big West season at home with matches against UC Riverside and UC Davis on Sept. 26 and 27. After a trip to CSU Bakersfield and CSUN (Oct. 3 and 4), the ‘Bows face Cal Poly on Oct. 10 in a rematch of last year’s Big West Championship final and take on UC Santa Barbara in a Sunday match on Oct. 12.
The ‘Bows play five of their next six matches on the road, with a home game against Cal State Fullerton on Oct. 25 breaking up two road trips. They open November back home against CSUN and CSU Bakersfield (Nov. 7 and 9) then head back on the road for matches at UCSB and Cal Poly. UH returns home for the final week of the regular season and faces UC San Diego on Nov. 21 and Long Beach State on Senior Night on Nov. 22.
The Big West Championship is set for Nov. 26 to 29 in Long Beach, Calif., with the winner earning the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The ‘Bows won their fifth consecutive Big West crown, and second straight tournament title, last year to extend their streak of NCAA berths to 31 with the program’s 42nd appearance overall.
Season-ticket renewals will be sent out the first week of June and new season-ticket sales will begin on July 21. More information on ticket sales will be announced in the coming weeks.
