Volleyball Announces Schedule for Upcoming 2008 Campaign
Third-year volleyball head coach Russi Villalta has released the Pioneer's schedule for the 2008 season.
C.W. Post will begin its season by hosting a six-team invitational tournament from Aug. 28-30. The opposing schools include Regis University (Colo.), Dallas Baptist, regional foes Bentley College and Franklin Pierce University, and East Coast Conference, rival New York Institute of Technology.
The Pioneers will waste little time entering ECC competition, as they will open conference play on the road against Mercy College on Sept. 11. The team will begin tournament play at the University of New Haven, a squad that ended the Pioneers' season in the NCAA Regional last year, starting Sept. 12.
The schedule also includes a pair of matches against longtime rival, Dowling College, beginning Sept. 18 on the road, and will host the finale on Oct. 21.
C.W. Post concluded the 2007 campaign with a record of 17-16, and captured a selection to the NCAA Regional for the second consecutive season.
