Texas A&M Corpus Christi releases volleyball schedule for 2022 season

The Texas A&M Corpus Christi volleyball team released its schedule for the 2022 season on Monday.

The Islanders open the season Aug. 26 with a trip to Nebraska to play the Cornhuskers, Pepperdine and Rice. A&M-Corpus Christi will also face Texas Tech, Rice and Brown in Houston before heading to Tucson, Arizona to play Arizona, Cal State Northridge and the University of Texas at El Paso.

The Islanders, who are coming off back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, will host the Islanders Classic Sept. 2-3 with an 18-game double round robin slate during Southland Conference play.

"We are looking forward to a very challenging schedule this year," A&M Corpus Christi volleyball coach Steve Green said in a news release. "Our team has had tremendous success the last couple seasons with back-to-back trips to the NCAA tournament and we want to build on that success. We had an amazing class of six graduates that provided so much to our team on and off the floor."

Conference play begins Sept. 22 when A&M-Corpus Christi hosts New Orleans. The 2022 Southland Conference Championship is scheduled for Nov. 17-20.

"We look forward to using this difficult preseason schedule to improve, build our team chemistry, and really focus on our strengths as we look forward to the Southland Conference schedule and Southland Conference Tournament," Greene said.
