Women's Volleyball Releases 2021 Schedule

WATERTOWN, Wis. -- The Maranatha Athletic Department has released the 2021 Women's Volleyball schedule, and a road-heavy schedule stands in the way of the Sabercats, who will look to reclaim the national title that has eluded them in recent seasons.

As the schedule stands, the Sabercats will play just 3 home games in the 2021 season (additional home games have not yet been announced), and they will compete in 29 regular-season matches. Their usual Friday-Saturday routine will be offset by just 3 games during the week.

Making headlines in NCCAA news this summer was North Central University and Crown College's return to the NCCAA North Region. North Central is fresh off of their best finish since 2009 in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference, as they won the 2021 UMAC Consolation Championship to finalize their #5 ranking in the conference.

The Sabercats could compete with as many as 8 other schools for the NCCAA North Region title. Most notably, Providence University College and Emmaus Bible College will look to challenge Maranatha for the coveted crown.
