The Mercer Athletics Department and head volleyball coach Derek Schroeder released the 2018 women’s beach volleyball schedule Thursday afternoon. The 19-game schedule includes five home matches and eight league contests in the ASUN Conference.
Mercer opens the regular season in Macon against Huntingdon College on Feb. 24 before entering a ten-game road stretch. It will mark the second time in three years that Mercer has opened the season at Bear Beach. The Bears’ remaining four home regular season contests include a pair of ASUN matches against Stetson and FGCU on March 30-31.
Consecutive road games at North Florida (April 6), Jacksonville (April 7) and Coastal Carolina (April 11) will conclude Mercer’s ASUN slate and regular season. Mercer will also play in three nonconference tournaments at Stetson (March 9-10), UAB (March 16-17) and Georgia State (March 23-24).
Mercer went 15-12 in its sixth season last spring, marking its best record in program history. The team returns 10 student-athletes, including 2017 ASUN All-Tournament Team selection Danielle Faust, while welcoming six new Bears to the team.
