The volleyball program has announced a minor update for the spring schedule.

The match scheduled for March 28th is being moved. It was previously scheduled to be played at Elizabethtown High School, but will now be played at Central Hardin High School. Etown is in Hardin County, so this isn’t a massive move, just the other side of Etown, and while it’s not exactly a one-stoplight town, it’s not huge either.

The match also now has a start time, 7:30, that I don’t believe had been posted previously.

Volleyball is allowed to play four dates of inter-collegiate competition for a spring schedule. Of course, the competition is exhibition and doesn’t get recorded for any official stats.

Louisville volleyball will take advantage of all four dates of play for the 2025 spring season.

They will start off with a match against Vanderbilt on March 28th. The Commodores will play their first official season of play in fall, so this will be a good warm-up for them. Whitman Czajkowski was listed as “Technical Coordinator/Sports Statistician” for the UofL volleyball squad until the end of the 2024 season. He has taken a role with Vanderbilt’s volleyball program as the Director of Technology and Analytics. This match will be in Elizabethtown, at Elizabethtown High School.

The Cards will continue on the road, with a trip to Bloomington, IN to play Indiana University on April 5th.

Louisville will finish the spring season in Louisville with a match on April 12th at Freedom hall against Tennessee. This is scheduled in conjunction with the JVA Qualifier, a large club volleyball tournament held at the Fairgrounds every year, so expect a large crowd.

And finally, as is tradition, the Cardinals and the Wildcats will tangle once again on April 18th at L&N Federal Credit Union Arena. No announcement yet if there will be tickets for this event, even if they are zero dollar, but I wouldn’t be surprised given the limited seating at LNFCU.
