Volleyball Announces
2004 Schedule
Utah State will
play 27 matches on the season, including 16 against NCAA Tournament
teams from a year ago
 Ten
teams that participated in the 2003 NCAA Tournament, including
one Final Four opponent, highlight the 2004 Utah State women's
volleyball schedule that was announced July 19.
The Aggies will host eight NCAA Tournament teams from a year
ago, including in-state rival Brigham Young on Sept. 28 and
Final Four participant Hawaii on Nov. 23 to close out the regular
season. In all, Utah State will play 12 matches at the Dee Glen
Smith Spectrum, a venue where the Aggies have gone 40-14 over
the last five seasons.
Other NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago to visit the Dee
Glen Smith Spectrum include Cal State Northridge, Pacific, UC
Santa Barbara, Idaho, UC Irvine and Long Beach State.
Utah State will open the year against national power Stanford
on Sept. 3 at a tournament hosted by Nevada, before playing
road matches at Idaho State and Utah on Sept. 8 and 11. Utah
State's first home matches of the year will be on Sept. 16 and
18 against Big West opponents Cal State Northridge and Pacific.
After 14 years of competition in the Big West Conference, Utah
State will be playing its final season in the league before
moving to the Western Athletic Conference in 2005. Utah State
will play a total of 18 conference matches on the year in a
round-robin format with each school playing each other member
institution both home and away.
Utah State returns four starters and seven letter-winners from
last year's team that went 18-12 overall and finished in a tie
for fifth-place in the Big West with a 10-8 record. Among the
players returning for Utah State is junior first-team all-Big
West performer Zuzana
Cernianska, along with Beth
Hodge and Mari
Ruddick who were both named to the league's all-freshman
team during the 2003 season.
