Melbourne, Fla. –The Florida Tech Panthers volleyball program and head coach Amy O'Brien have released the 2019 Volleyball scheduled.

"I have high expectations for our team for the 2019 season", said O'Brien "We have one of the hardest (if not hardest) schedules Florida Tech Volleyball has ever had. We are playing a considerable amount of teams in our first two weekends that finished in the top 25 of the nation last year.  I'm expecting us to use these matches to prepare for our tough Conference schedule we are going to face throughout the fall". 

To start off the 2019 season campaign, the Panthers will head to Pensacola to participate in the 2019 West Florida Invitational September 6-7. The Panthers will battle against Wheeling Jesuit, West Florida, Western Washington, and will end the trip with Spring Hill.
 
The Panthers next trip is to Fort Lauderdale for the Shark Invitational on September 13-14. They will face Belmont Abbey College, Valdosta State, Wayne State, and Grand Valley State.
 
After back-to-back tournaments, the Crimson and Gray head home for the first home game of the season against Rollins on (9/17).
 
Florida Tech will kick of the month of October against the top Sunshine State Conference teams. The Panthers will host Barry (10/4), Palm Beach Atlantic (10/5), Tampa (10/11), and Saint Leo (10/12). The Tampa Spartans were the 2018 National Champions as they defeated Western Washington three sets to two in the NCAA DII women's volleyball championship.
 
 Next, Florida Tech heads to Birmingham, Ala. for the annual Regional Crossover October 18-19. 
 
After the Regional Crossover, the Panthers head back home to face Embry-Riddle (10/22) and quickly go on the road to face Nova (10/25), Lynn (10/26), and Rollins (10/29).
