RENO, Nev. - The Nevada volleyball team has released its 2021 schedule, head coach Lee Nelson announced this Thursday.
"We have put together an exciting schedule this year," said head coach Lee Nelson. "We kick our season off at the University of Idaho tournament and open up with the University of Portland and their Head Coach Megan Burton, who was an Assistant here at Nevada for five seasons. We launch our home season by hosting CSUN and Sacramento State in our own Nevada Classic tournament and then jump right into conference by hosting San Diego State and defending Mountain West Champion UNLV. We have a great crew this year and I am really looking forward to seeing them compete."
Nevada's schedule includes 30 matches, with 11 home matches and three away tournaments.
The Wolf Pack season starts Aug. 16 at 6 p.m. with the Annual Silver and Blue Scrimmage, where fans can take a look at the 2021 team. The Pack will then drive to Stockton, for an exhibition match against Pacific Aug. 18 at 2 p.m. Due to Covid-19, the match will be closed to the public.
