CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel head volleyball coach, Dave Zelenock, has announced the upcoming 2024 volleyball schedule. The 27-match schedule features four tournaments before getting into Southern Conference match play in late September.
 
"This year's schedule is very competitive. There are the apparent teams everyone knows, like Alabama and Nebraska, but the other teams will be the real tests for us", said head coach Dave Zelenock. "The goal of building this tough of a schedule is to make sure this group has a trial by fire heading into SOCON, and we can reach our ultimate goal of winning the tournament and getting back to the NCAA tournament."

The Bulldogs will open the 2024 season with the Crimson Tide Invitational, hosted by the University of Alabama, on Aug. 30-31. The Citadel will face UT Martin and Alabama on Aug. 30 and Grambling State on Aug. 31.
