UD Volleyball Continues Home Stretch on Friday vs. St. Thomas

IRVING, Texas – The University of Dallas volleyball team will play its third home doubleheader in as many weekends this 2021 spring season when it hosts University of St. Thomas on Friday. The twinbill is scheduled for 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Dallas (0-4, 0-4 SCAC) is seeking its first overall and set win of the campaign after dropping three to No. 4 Colorado College and Austin College the past two weeks.
