FORT MYERS, Fla. – New Florida Gulf Coast University head coach Thais Baziquetto‑Allen has released the 2025 volleyball schedule.
"We've put together a tough preseason schedule by design. We want to challenge ourselves right away—to see how we respond, where we're strong, and where we need to keep building as we prepare for conference play," coach Baziquetto‑Allen said. "Every match will give us an opportunity to gain experience. With the energy our newcomers bring and the experience of our returners, this group has the potential to do something special. We're fired up to get to work and can't wait for the fall."
