CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Queens University of Charlotte women's volleyball has released its 2025 schedule ahead of an exciting new era under first-year Head Coach Matt Stolz.

"We are excited to announce our 2025 schedule that has a lot of great opportunities to push our program to compete at a high level," Stolz said. "We aimed to prepare us for the challenging ASUN Conference schedule by competing against other top regional opponents that will compete in their respective conferences at a high level. We are eager to improve every match and compete at the highest level as we go into our conference season. The ASUN is a great volleyball conference and we look forward to the journey this season will be."
