🌾 ​ And much, much more!

🌾 ONE BIG THING

Shocker volleyball is set with its 2024 conference schedule following the team’s 15-4 AAC record during the 2023 season.

The 16-match conference schedule is evenly split, with eight home and road contests. The Shockers are set to host Temple, Rice, South Florida, Florida Atlantic, Memphis, UAB, Tulsa and UTSA, while traveling to Memphis, UAB, Charlotte, East Carolina, Tulsa, Rice, Tulane and North Texas. With 13 teams competing in 2024, the AAC has abandoned the two-division system utilized last season.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 First Things First. Shocker women’s basketball will be one of eight teams set to compete in the inaugural Emerald Coast Classic Women’s Basketball Tournament on Nov. 25 and 26 in Florida.

🔼 Championship Hosts. After finishing second place in last season’s AAC standings, Shocker volleyball will host the conference tournament at the Charles Koch Arena later this year.
