Rutgers Volleyball Announces 2023 Schedule

Rutgers volleyball has announced its fall schedule.

The 2022 campaign for Rutgers volleyball was disappointing as the Scarlet Knights finished with an 8-24 record. However, with August only months away, they are ready to leave last season in the rearview mirror. On Wednesday, the offseason reached a critical point as the 2023 regular season schedule was released.

The Scarlet Knights will return to action on the weekend of August 25-26 at the Virginia Tournament in Charlottesville, Virginia. Rutgers will face North Carolina A&T and either Virginia or Rider. Non-conference play will continue the following weekend when the Scarlet Knights take on Winthrop, then host Wolfpack and Howard.

Rutgers will kick off Big Ten play in mid-September against Penn State before welcoming Maryland and Purdue to Piscataway. In October, Rutgers will be tested as six of their nine matches will be on the road. It will be a golden opportunity for them to conquer their road demons. During the 2022 campaign, the Scarlet Knights were 1-10 away from Piscataway.

Following a month of travel, the Scarlet Knights will enjoy some home cooking in November. Five of their eight matches are at Jersey Mike’s Arena. That includes visits from Indiana, Nebraska, and Michigan. The home finale is set for November 18th, with the season finale a week later at Ohio State.

As the Scarlet Knights look to exceed expectations, their most critical stretch will come in October when they travel around the Big Ten. If they can make it through that stretch, fans will have plenty to celebrate. Anticipation is already building for what the fall will bring as the schedule released signaled that the season is quickly approaching.

Rutgers athletics had plans to open the Labor Day weekend with a sellout at SHI Stadium as the Scarlet Knights were scheduled to take on the Temple Owls on the gridiron. After Hurricane Ida pushed back the season opener, the football team found themselves in the middle of a packed Scarlet Knights sports schedule over the holiday weekend. The football squad dominated Temple in the rescheduled game on Saturday 61-14. They impressed enough to receive some votes in the USA Today AFCA coaches poll. What’s more impressive than that? How about Rutgers going undefeated in all team sports over the weekend? Let’s take a look at what the other Scarlet Knights did to celebrate the extended weekend.
