*Schedule Subject To Change Due To Ongoing COVID-19 Situation* 

CEDAR CITY, Utah - The Southern Utah volleyball program and head coach Pete Hoyer have released the details of their 2020 season schedule.

"First of all, in my 34 years of coaching I have never finalized a schedule this close to the season. Changes to the Big Sky schedule and travel restrictions due to COVID-19 have made this a wild ride," Hoyer said. "In a year with so much uncertainty, we can't wait to be back in the America First Event Center, competing together in front of our supporters and families."

The Thunderbirds will open their season on September 18 in the AFEC against Dixie State. It will be the first Division I game for the Trailblazers. Both teams will play again the next day, September 19, in St. George at Burns Arena.

Big Sky Conference play will start on October 2 for the T-Birds and will be structured differently due to COVID-19. Teams will play both of their matches for the season on back-to-back days rather than at two different points in the season. On October 2-3, Southern Utah will be in Moscow, Idaho to take on the Vandals.

The Thunderbirds will return home the following week to take on Montana on October 8-9. They will follow that up with matches against Weber State, Portland State, Northern Arizona, Idaho State, and Montana State. Their final two matches of the regular season will be on November 19-20 against Eastern Washington.

The 2020 Big Sky Conference tournament will take place in Greeley, Colorado starting on November 24 and only the top four teams in the conference will make the tournament.

"We hope to give the T-Bird community something to cheer about. Every weekend will have incredible importance as the conference tournament has been temporarily reduced to a field of four teams in 2020," Hoyer said. "To qualify, we will have to be ready to perform every night, at home and on the road, and we look forward to the challenge."
