ATLANTA, Ga. - The ASUN Conference announced today the inaugural conference schedule for the University of Central Arkansas volleyball program.  

The Sugar Bears are ready for the task as they gear up to compete in a 16 match conference schedule that starts September 24. 

UCA begins their first hint of ASUN action with a three-match neutral site tournament at Jacksonville State. After that, the Sugar Bears will have one more tournament during the conference stretch as they head to Jacksonville University for another three-match set. That tournament will happen in Jacksonville, Florida, and takes place October 22-24. 

During this 16 match stint, UCA will have five home matches compared to five away and six neutral site opportunities. The Sugar Bears host their first home match against Eastern Kentucky on October 8. UCA's other home matchups include Bellarmine, Lipscomb, Jacksonville State, and North Alabama in the final match of the regular season. These matches lead to the ASUN tournament that Florida Gulf Coast will host on November 19-21.
