BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Volleyball, the Conference USA Preseason favorite, has announced four more home matches for the 2021 spring season with two weekends of non-conference tournaments taking place on The Hill in January. The four additional matches bring the Tops' regular-season slate to 16 matches.
The Hilltoppers will enter their 2021 opener on Sunday, Jan. 24 with a 1-0 record after a 3-0 sweep of UAB in a non-conference match this past fall. WKU will host Mercer and Bellarmine on Jan. 24 before Saint Louis and Evansville come to town on Jan. 31 for the Holiday Inn - University Plaza Invitational.
Both weekends will feature the Hilltoppers in an 11 a.m. CT match along with a 6 p.m. contest while the two visiting teams will play a neutral tilt at 2:30 p.m.
From there, the Tops will commence its Conference USA slate as Florida Atlantic (Feb. 7-8), Charlotte (Feb. 21-22) and FIU (March 7-8) will also visit The Hill this season. WKU will travel to Old Dominion on Feb. 14-15 for the first-ever matches against the Monarchs. The Red and White's second road trip will be to Huntington, W.Va., for matches on Feb. 28 and March 1 at Marshall. Travis Hudson and company will close the regular season with a trip south to Middle Tennessee on March 20-21. All six series will be played back-to-back days with first serve at the same time for both contests.
Southern Miss will host the 2020-21 Conference USA Tournament from April 1-3 inside Reed Green Coliseum. The Golden Eagles last hosted the postseason event in 2014, WKU's first year in the league. Postseason play will run as it has in years past with eight teams playing in a single-elimination format.
TICKET INFORMATION
Season tickets are on sale now for $35 at WKUTickets.com and by calling 1-800-5-BIGRED. Tickets will be for sale at the door as well on match days. Season ticket packages include one ticket for all 10 matches in Diddle Arena during the spring 2021 season.
** Ticket packages will no longer be 'flexible' to use as one season ticket package will get one dated ticket to each home match. **
Anyone that has already purchased 2021 season tickets will be receiving a call from a WKU Athletics Tickets representative soon to confirm interest and secure seats.
Single match tickets will cost $5 for an adult and $3 for a child 12 or under. WKU will accept mobile tickets and hard copies during volleyball season in an effort to make the process easier for everyone.
Just as Diddle Arena is operating for basketball season, capacity for volleyball matches is 15 percent. As the Governor's Office allows, a second-floor concession stand will be open for home matches.
With a capacity of only 1,100 fans allowed this season, fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance.
All fans will enter through Gate 2 of Diddle Arena and undergo a temperature check upon entry. From there, fans will head upstairs via the elevator or stairwell before finding their seats.
Fans can plan to park in Parking Structure 2 (located between Diddle Arena and the football stadium). Just tell a gate attendant you're attending the volleyball match.
Students can attend WKU Volleyball matches for free this season and do not need a ticket. Fan entry will be monitored and shut down once the 15 percent capacity is reached.
