CHARLESTON – Charleston Southern Volleyball and Head Coach Carry Brown announced the team's 2025 season schedule on Wednesday afternoon featuring 28 contests played across four different states. The Bucs have a 14 match non-conference schedule to pair with a 14 match, double round-robin, Big South slate.

The Bucs will scrimmage Anderson University for the second year in a row on August 22nd in the Buc Dome at 6:00 PM. 

This year's Buc Dome Invitational will open up the VolleyBucs' regular season on August 29th as CSU takes on Loyola Maryland at 12:30 PM, a program they have not faced since 2012, and IU Indy at 7:00 PM, a program they have not seen on the volleyball court since 2006.

On Saturday, August 30th, the Bucs will host The Citadel for a 3:00 PM Buc Dome Invitational finale. The cross-town Bulldogs have competed against CSU on the volleyball court 31 total times, with the Bucs winning 22 of those match-ups. After not competing against one another last season, the Bucs and Bulldogs are set to face off once again as the marquee match-up in CSU's home tournament.

The following weekend, Carry Brown's crew will travel to St. George, Utah to participate in the 2025 Utah Tech Tournament. The Bucs will play against both Weber State at 2:00 PM EST and Utah Tech at 8:00 PM EST on September 5th. It will be the first time in school history that the CSU volleyball program will compete against both the Wildcats or the Trailblazers.

The following day, September 6th, CSU will travel to Cedar City, Utah as they face off against the Southern Utah Thunderbirds at 3:00 PM EST, a program they have only played once in school history with the only other competition being in 2015.

For week three of the regular season, Charleston Southern will travel to Daytona Beach, Florida to compete in the 2025 Bash at the Beach hosted by Bethune-Cookman University. The Bucs will start their Friday off with a 10:00 AM match against the Jacksonville Dolphins on September 12th followed by a 6:30 PM contest against the host school, the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats. This will be the 12th all-time match-up between CSU and Jacksonville, who have not seen one another since 2021.

The upset victory last season was the Bucs first win over High Point since 2005.

October 17th will serve as the Buccaneers' Big South home opener as they host the Winthrop Eagles at 6:00 PM. The Friday event will also be CSU's designated Cancer Awareness night. The following afternoon (October 18th) at 3:00 PM, Gardner-Webb will arrive at the Buc Dome to play a team they split the season series with last fall (1-1).
