BOCA RATON, Fla. – Looking to continue the Owls' upward trend, Florida Atlantic University volleyball head coach Fernanda Nelson announced the program's 2022 schedule on Wednesday, featuring 13 home matches at Abessinio Court at FAU Arena and three matches against 2021 NCAA Tournament teams.
The 2022 season also marks the 11th for coach Nelson with the Owls.
"I feel like we have an extremely talented group of volleyball athletes in the gym this year," said coach Nelson. "But what makes me most excited about this group is their exceptional character and hunger to improve every day. I am really looking forward to entering my 11th season at FAU. I've been so blessed to have a wonderful staff around me and all the support from my administration throughout my time at FAU."
The Owls will compete in 12 non-conference matchups, including a pair of season-opening home tournaments in the FAU Invitational and the Owls Paradise Classic, in addition to two road tournaments with the Dolphin Classic and the FGCU Invitational, and 14 Conference USA contests.
Before officially opening the 2022 season, the Owls will host Lynn for an exhibition contest on Saturday, Aug. 20.
