TROY, Ala. - The Troy University volleyball program and head coach Sonny Kirkpatrick have announced their 2010 schedule, which includes six games against 2009 NCAA Tournament teams and a home tournament for the first time since 2005.
“Our schedule this year is as challenging as ever,” Kirkpatrick said. “We're looking forward to the next chapter in Troy volleyball.”
The Trojans will open the 2010 campaign on the road on August 27 and 28 at the Auburn Tournament. While in Auburn, Ala. The Trojans will take on the Tigers, Georgia Southern and UT-Martin.
Troy will play its home opener on Labor Day weekend (September 4-5) when they host their first tournament since 2005. The Trojans will welcome Western Illinois, McNeese State and Evansville to Sartain Hall for the weekend for the first tournament action in Troy in Kirkpatrick's five years at the helm of the Trojans.
“We're very excited to host a tournament,” Kirkpatrick said. “We've got four very evenly matched teams and it should lend itself to some very good volleyball.”
The Trojans will play in two more tournaments on the following two weekends. The first at North Florida where the Trojans will meet the Ospreys, Charleston Southern, UT-Chattanooga and Illinois-Chicago. Troy will close out tournament play at the Kennesaw Tournament where they will match up with the Owls, Marshall, Buffalo and Presbyterian.
