UD Athletics Weekend Schedule

The University of Dallas athletics department has a busy week with three sports home over the next three days. There will be conference openers for baseball and softball, while men’s and women’s lacrosse each have road matches. Volleyball is away for the first time this year but playing its second nationally ranked opponent. Golf plays in its closest tournament to home this spring, and track and field will be competing for a consecutive weekend, but welcoming additions to the roster.

A reminder that no spectators are permitted at University of Dallas Athletics Events. This is a policy from the SCAC, so all conference schools are sharing the same policies regarding spectators for indoor and outdoor sports.

Also livestats and video will be available at the majority of events this spring. Links for access can be found on the specific sport’s schedule/result page and as an icon next to the event on that certain date.

Below are the schedules of games for the Crusaders.
