Good number of NCAA tournament qualifiers on the list, and I note we've replaced Dayton with Cincinnati as the post-MAC pre-NCAA OOC matchup (probably a roughly equal swap).

Since the text version is less than awesome for scanning over, here's the schedule in a more digestible list form:

Nov. 15-20 MAC Tournament [Geneva, Ohio]

Nov. 25 @ Cincinnati^


Home matches in bold.
^ indicates team advanced to the Round of 32.
* indicates team played in First Round.

Good find.  Our release didn't seem to be particularly clear which of the four schools it was at -- I didn't think about checking their sites.

Another challenging schedule for OHIO, as it should be. The OOC schedule includes 3 home matches, 5 away, and 7 neutral sites. Eight opponents participated in last year's NCAA tourney.
 
Early on should be particularly challenging given how young the team is. There are 6 returning players with experience (with 3 being freshmen), several other returnees with potential to make an impact, plus four highly touted new recruits. As usual, it looks to be an exciting year for OHIO volleyball.
