SAN MARCOS, Calif. – With the 2021 season nearing, CSUSM Head Volleyball Coach Andrea Leonard announced her team’s 2021 schedule on Thursday.
“We are very excited and ready to be back together on the court competing for CSUSM,” Leonard said. “The pause has given us time to reflect and work on things we would not have had the chance to strengthen and improve. We are reminded of how much we miss the team comradery, striving together for a common goal and the family unity volleyball gives us.”
The Cougars will begin their 18-match CCAA schedule by hosting Cal State Monterey Bay on Sept. 16 at The Sports Center and will conclude the opening weekend of conference play at home against San Francisco State on Sept. 18.
