The structure of the schedule has also undergone a transformation. Unlike the previous season, which featured six back-to-back matches, this year’s schedule offers a more spaced-out format.
The Jayhawks will play 18 conference matches, facing 10 teams once and four teams twice, including Iowa State, Kansas State, UCF, and West Virginia. Notably, the scheduling allows for strategic positioning of road matches, ensuring convenient travel arrangements for the team. From facing West Virginia to Cincinnati and later tackling the Arizona teams, the Jayhawks will play their away games with efficiency and focus.
Despite the departure of key players such as Reagan Cooper and Mykayla Myers, the Jayhawks boast a roster brimming with talent and experience. Returning stars like Ayah Elnady, London Davis, Toyosi Onabanjo, Raegan Burns, and Caroline Bien, along with a promising class of six freshmen, are poised to lead the team to success.
While nonconference dates are yet to be revealed, the Jayhawks will kick off their Big 12 campaign at Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena against UCF on September 25. A rematch of last November’s showdown, where the Jayhawks secured a 3-1 victory over the Knights, promises to set the tone for an exciting conference season.
Mark your calendars and get ready to witness the Jayhawks 2024 conference season as they embark on their journey through the revamped Big 12 Conference. With talent, determination, and strategic planning, the Kansas volleyball team is primed to make waves and leave a lasting impression in the world of collegiate volleyball.
