COMMERCE – The Texas A&M University-Commerce volleyball team has published the Southland Conference schedule for the 2024 season on Wednesday afternoon.
 
With the addition of UTRGV and Stephen F. Austin to the Southland this fall, the Lions are slated to play 16 conference matches, including eight on the Hunt Regional Healthcare Court inside the Field House.
 
The conference portion of the schedule begins with a trip to Northwestern State on September 24. The Lady Demons and the Lions are travel partners this season and played in the first round of the SLC Tournament a year ago.
 
Then, A&M-Commerce welcomes UIW and McNeese to Commerce on September 26 and September 28, respectively, before heading back on the road for four straight.
 
The road swing begins at Lamar on October 3, at Stephen F. Austin on October 5, at A&M-Corpus Christi on October 10, and at UTRGV on October 10.
 
The Lions have four straight matches against the Islanders and the Vaqueros, as A&M-Corpus Christi makes the return trip to Commerce on October 17 and UTRGV is in town on October 19, which is also Homecoming weekend. The home stand concludes on October 26 against Houston Christian.
 
The lone road match in southern Louisiana comes on November 2 as they play at Nicholls, before returning home to host Northwestern State. The final road trip of the regular season is to Houston Christian on October 7 and UIW on October 9.
 
The Lions close out the regular season at home against defending SLC champion Southeastern on October 14 and New Orleans for Senior Day on October 16.

This season, the Lions look to advance to the postseason for the 13^th consecutive year, which is the longest active streak for any sport at A&M-Commerce. The Southland Conference Tournament is hosted by Southeastern on November 21-24.
 
The non-conference portion of the schedule, season ticket information, and match times will be released in the coming days.
