NORMAL, Ill. – Returning a veteran squad that brings back eight players that started at least nine matches last season in addition to enrolling the top-rated recruiting class in program history, Illinois State volleyball head coach Allie Matters has put together a challenging 2025 schedule to test the ISU squad, featuring six schools that played in last season's NCAA Tournament, three that played in the National Invitational Volleyball Championship (NIVC), four from power-four conferences, and an 11-match home schedule featuring three schools from power conferences.
"I couldn't be more thrilled to share our preseason schedule with our Redbird fans," said Matters.
