MORAGA, Calif. — The Saint Mary's volleyball team's 2017 schedule is full of the nation's best, including hosting defending national champion and Bay Area rival Stanford, in another competitive schedule built and announced by head coach Rob Browning and his staff.
The Gaels, who improved to 11-18 overall and 6-12 in the West Coast Conference a year ago, will face seven NCAA Tournament teams from 2016, including three in one weekend to open the season. The Gaels will play 12 home matches with the home opener coming on Sept. 8 versus Fresno State.
“Our schedule is loaded with a bunch of top-notch opponents,” said Browning.
