FORT MYERS, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast beach volleyball (15-10) returns to action at the FAU Capri Classic, beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 10 against Jacksonville.

The Eagles will also face off with Stephen F. Austin, No. 15 FAU and No. 17 North Florida over the course of the weekend.

FGCU will meet the Dolphins for the third and final time in the regular season in 2026.
