Volleyball Announces 2023 Schedule
MESQUITE, Texas -- Dallas College Eastfield's volleyball program released its 2023 fall schedule on Friday.
The Harvester Beess open the season at the Southwestern Christian College Quad, with matches against Arlington Baptist and Wiley College Aug. 18. They then travel to the Wrangler Ranger Roundup co-hosted by Cisco College and Ranger College the following weekend.
The Harvester Bees' home opener on Aug. 29 against Southwestern Christian before hosting tri-matches on Sept. 1-2. The team will return the favor the following weekend by traveling to Oklahoma to play at Seminole State and Rose State. The team will round out the pre-conference part of their schedule by attending the Blinn College tournament on September 15-16.
The Harvesters will open the conference schedule on Sept. 18 at home against Dallas College North Lake before heading to Dallas College Cedar Valley and Dallas College Mountain View. The team will host Dallas College Brookhaven before going to Dallas College Richland to conclude the first round of conference play. The second round will begin on Oct. 5, following the same schedule while flip-flopping the location. The DAC Tournament begins on Oct. 25, with the championship match set for Oct. 28. The winner of the postseason tournament will represent the DAC at the NJCAA National Tournament in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
"The schedule we have put together for this fall will be challenging, while still giving us a chance to be successful," head coach Phil Nickel said. "We have an opportunity to play the defending NJCAA DIII national champions in the College of DuPage, along with a number of NJCAA DI and DII programs that should prepare us for the conference schedule. We've also scheduled matches with a handful of four-year schools that will help to expose our players who are interested in continuing their playing careers after Eastfield."
