INDIANAPOLIS – The IUPUI volleyball program has announced its 2023 schedule, including 13 home matches and the Hampton Inn Invitational hosted by the Jags. IUPUI finished ninth in the Horizon League standings this past season and look to have a fresh start heading into the 2023 slate.
 
The Jaguars will open preseason play when they host Cedarville for an exhibition match in the Jungle (Aug. 18) before the regular season begins on the road against Eastern Michigan at the Bradley Invite (Aug. 25). The Jags will also face SIUE and host Bradley at the opening weekend invite (Aug.26). IUPUI returns to the Jungle when they welcome UC Riverside, Oral Roberts and Eastern Illinois for the annual Hampton Inn Invitational (Aug. 31-Sept 2).
 
IUPUI goes on the road for one more invite at South Dakota, where they will face South Florida (Sept. 7), South Dakota (Sept. 8) and Drake (Sept. 8). The Jags then close out the non-conference slate with a match at home against Southern Indiana (Sept. 13) and a road match at Indiana State (Sept. 15).
 
Horizon League play will begin at home on Sept. 19 when the Jags host Cleveland State.
 
The Jags are coming off a 9-21 season, going 3-15 in Horizon League play. With a head coach search ongoing, assistant coach Bekah Strange and returning team members have continued their training this spring to improve and compete this fall. Returners include Emily Alan, Briana Brown, Addie Evans, Millai Madison, Morgan Ostrowski, Brooke Phillips and Sidney Veatch. Along with the returning experience, the Jags have built a strong recruiting class.
 
Ticket and promotional information will be available later this summer for the upcoming season.
