2026 Belmont Abbey Women's Volleyball Schedule

BELMONT, N.C. — The 2026 Belmont Abbey women's volleyball schedule features a pair of preseason tournaments, a strong slate of home matches and a competitive Conference Carolinas schedule that will lead into the league tournament in November, Head Coach Toni Fox announced today.

The Crusaders will open the 2026 campaign August 28-29 with three matches at the Catawba Classic followed by a trip to Elizabeth City for ECSU's Viking Classic the next weekend.

The Abbey will make its home and Conference Carolinas debut on Sept 12 when Erskine visits the Wheeler Center. King is the first Northwest Division foe on the schedule Sept. 15. After three road games, the Crusaders open a six-game homestand from the last weekend of September until the middle of October.

Senior Day and the final home game of the regular-season will take place Nov. 3 against Lees-McRae, while the Conference Carolinas Tournament begins November 7-8 with the first and second rounds at campus sites. The quarterfinals are scheduled for November 13, with the semifinals on November 14 and the championship match on November 15 in Pembroke, North Carolina.

"We are really looking forward to fall season with this special group," Fox said. "We have a strong returning class that had a lot of tough battles last year and has grown tremendously since then. They understand what it takes to win at the highest level, and they are committed to doing what it takes to give us the best opportunity to win - on the court, off the court and in their relationships."
