The Florida State Indoor Volleyball Team has announced its 2023 schedule, which is highlighted by 14 home matches at Tully Gym including Florida, Miami, Pittsburgh and North Carolina.

“We are excited for a new season,” FSU coach Chris Poole said. “We met with many challenges last year with players missing and feeling like we never got into a groove. We have a lot returning and have added additional depth. The schedule gives us a lot of match play and a lot of home matches. We need to get our players against competition and grow individually and as a team this fall. We welcome the challenge.”

The Seminoles return four players who have garnered All-ACC accolades, including junior middle blocker Khori Louis, junior outside hitter Audrey Koenig, sophomore outside hitter Audrey Rothman and junior libero Emery Dupes. Among the team’s key additions this off-season is Oregon transfer middle blocker Kiari Robey, a junior who recorded 156 kills and a team-leading 107 blocks last year.

Florida State begins its 2023 campaign in Athens, Ga. – playing in Georgia’s home tournament from Aug. 25-27 against Western Carolina (Aug. 25), Georgia (Aug. 26) and UConn (Aug. 27).

The Seminole Invitational returns to Tallahassee as FSU hosts SMU on Friday, Sept. 1, as well as Auburn on Sunday, Sept. 3. FSU turns around and heads on the road to battle Samford on Sept. 4 in Birmingham, Ala.

The non-conference slate continues with a tournament at soon-to-be Big 12 member UCF, taking on the Knights in Orlando on Sept. 7. FSU also faces North Texas in Orlando on Sept. 8.

The Fresh From Florida Sunshine Showdown continues with the 77th meeting between Florida and Florida State, this time at Tully Gym, on Sept. 12.

The Seminoles wind down the pre-season portion of their schedule in a tournament hosted by TCU in Dallas, Texas, from Sept. 15-16 against TCU (Sept. 15) and Hawaii (Sept. 16). FSU then hosts North Florida on Sept. 19, and has a late-season home match vs. Chicago State on Nov. 17.

The ACC, which has emerged as one of the nation’s top volleyball conferences, includes several quality opponents for the upcoming season. National semifinalist Pitt heads to FSU on Friday, Nov. 3, while rival Miami comes to Tallahassee on Sunday, Nov. 12.

The conference home slate also includes North Carolina (Sept. 29), Duke (Oct. 1), NC State (Oct. 8), Boston College (Oct. 20), Syracuse (Oct. 22), Virginia (Nov. 5) and a regular-season finale vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 25).

FSU goes on the road against some difficult conference competition, including Virginia Tech (Sept. 22), Wake Forest (Sept. 24), Miami (Oct. 4), Georgia Tech (Oct. 13), Clemson (Oct. 15), national runner-up Louisville (Oct. 27), Notre Dame (Oct. 29), Syracuse (Nov. 10) and North Carolina (Nov. 19).

Florida State will host its annual Garnet and Gold Scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 19, with more details to be announced at a later time.
