DAYTON, Ohio - University of Dayton volleyball is set to open the home portion of its 2016 schedule Tuesday evening against Miami (Ohio). First serve is set for 7:07 p.m. at Frericks Center. Immediately prior to the match, the newly named Hausfeld Court will be blessed and dedicated.

Hausfeld Court
Following a very generous donation from the Hausfeld family, Dayton volleyball was able to renovate the gym inside Frericks Center and named the playing service Hausfeld Court in memory of Kacie Hausfeld, a player at UD who passed away while on the team. In addition to naming the court for Kacie and her family, her spirit lives on in the Kacie Hausfeld Players' Lounge as well. Other improvements to the facility include:
New perma cap seating on wooded bleachers New telescopic court side seats on north side of gym Updated banners and graphics
