2023 Volleyball Schedule Released

SCHEDULE

NEW ORLEANS - The 2023 New Orleans Privateers volleyball schedule has been released and it features 11 matches across four weekends before getting into the 18-match Southland slate that begins on Sept. 21.
 
All home matches will be at the Human Performance Center and tickets will be on sale for home matches this season. More information will be available at a later date.
 
The Privateers under head coach, Ashley Preston had the fifth largest win differential among all Division I schools between 2021 and 2022. Last season, the Privateers won 15 matches, a 14-win turnaround from the '21 season.
 
12 of the 29 matches are at home for the Privateers who broke the program record for the best home start in history after winning their first nine home matches last season.
 
New Orleans opens the season with a trip to Atlanta in a tournament hosted by Georgia State. There, the Privateers will face South Carolina State and Chattanooga along with the host Panthers. New Orleans opens against the hosts on Aug. 25.
 
From there, New Orleans will travel to Louisville. The Privateers will again open with the host of the tournament when they face the Bellarmine Knights on Sept. 1. The Privateers will also face Murray State and Southern Indiana. The Southern Indiana program recently made the jump to Division I and the Ohio Valley Conference in 2022.
 
The Privateers return home when they host the New Orleans Invitational. After going 3-0 in their home tournament last season, New Orleans will look to repeat that feat against the likes of Alcorn State, ULM and Southern. The tournament runs between Sept. 8-9.
 
In their last non-conference tests, the Privateers will head down I-10 to Lafayette where they will face the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns and the Prairie View A&M Panthers.
 
Southland play opens when the Privateers face Northwestern State at home. The first three matches of the conference slate are against in-state schools.
 
Three of the last four matches for the Privateers are at home against UIW, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Lamar. The only road match in that stretch is on Nov. 9 against Nicholls.
