BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION The Texas A&M volleyball team announced its 2025 schedule Monday featuring 10 non-conference fixtures, a 15-match SEC regular season slate and the return of the conference tournament.
"We're excited about the challenges ahead, both in and out of conference play," head coach Jamie Morrison said. "The SEC is as strong as it's ever been, and our non-conference schedule is designed to prepare us for that grind. We're looking forward to testing ourselves against some of the best teams in the country."
The Aggies planned a challenging schedule, as they face 13 NCAA Tournament teams from the 2024 championships, eight of which were from the SEC.
A&M opens its campaign at the previously announced AVCA First Serve event versus Minnesota, held at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Aug. 25.
The Maroon & White remain on the road for the following two weeks to play six matches, opening with the Rice Invitational where they face the host Owls (Aug. 29) and Central Arkansas (Aug. 30). The group follows that up with a trip to Utah, that features matches against the Utes (Sept. 4) and Utah State (Sept. 5). The road stint is concluded with a pair of fixtures at SMU (Sept. 9) for the SEC/ACC Showdown at the Net and TCU (Sept. 10).
The Aggies return to the Brazos Valley to wrap up their non-conference schedule in front of the 12th Man, as they host the Texas A&M Invitational. The Maroon & White will face Southeastern Louisiana (Sept. 18), New Hampshire (Sept. 19) and Loyola Marymount (Sept. 20).
The 15-game conference schedule features seven home and eight road fixtures, opened by a pair of matches in Reed Arena versus Missouri on Wednesday, Sept. 24, and Vanderbilt on Friday, Sept. 26.
The remainder of the home schedule consists of one Wednesday fixture and a pair of Friday and Sunday contests. The Aggies host Kentucky for their lone midweek conference match (Oct. 8), followed by a weekend set versus Oklahoma (Oct. 17) and Arkansas (Oct. 19). The annual Cotton Holdings Lone Star Showdown with Texas is the penultimate home match (Oct. 31) before the slate is closed by Georgia (Nov. 16).
A&M's road lineup starts with a pair of two-match stints sandwiched around a Wednesday contest, playing at South Carolina (Oct. 1), Alabama (Oct. 5), Mississippi State (Oct. 12), LSU (Oct. 24) and Ole Miss (Oct. 26). A&M concludes its away slate with matches at Tennessee (Nov. 2), Auburn (Nov. 7) and Florida (Nov. 12).
The Aggies then open their postseason campaign at the reintroduced SEC Tournament held in Savannah, Georgia (Nov. 21-25).
