STEPHENVILLE (July 11, 2017) – Head coach Mary Schindler has announced her 2017 volleyball schedule, which includes a season-opening tournament in Stephenville and a trip to Denver, Colorado for one of the most prestigious Division II volleyball tournaments in the nation – the Colorado Premier Challenge.

“We’re excited about the schedule we’ve put together for the upcoming season,” said Schindler. “We’re going to open the season at home this year with a tournament, which I know will have the fans excited, but we’ve also been invited to participate in the Colorado Premier Challenge and that’s one of the best tournaments in the nation. An invitation to that tournament says a lot about how far our program has come and it’s something I’m very proud to be a part of.”

Tarleton will open the season with an eight-team, two-day tournament in Stephenville on September 1-2 before heading to Denver for the Premier Challenge on September 8-9.
