CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The University of Northern Iowa volleyball program has released its tentative 2020 schedule.

The Panthers open the season at the Wisconsin Green Bay Tournament where they take on North Dakota State, Illinois, and Green Bay from August 29-30. The Panthers will return home to the McLeod Center to play host to Missouri, Minnesota, and Utah from September 11-12 in the team's own tournament. UNI will get the rematch from last year's NCAA first round when they take on the Tigers of Missouri on September 11. The Panthers are back on the court September 12 with matches against Utah and Minnesota.
The Panthers will finish their four-match home stand with a match on September 16 when they host the Cyclones of Iowa State in the McLeod Center. UNI will travel to South Bend, Indiana to play in the Notre Dame Tournament from September 18-19. The Panthers will take on Illinois for the second time in the non-conference schedule on Friday followed by Western Michigan. UNI will close out the tournament with host Notre Dame on September 19.
The Missouri Valley Conference schedule will begin on the road for the Panthers, who travel to Bradley on Friday, September 25, and Illinois State on September 26th. The Panthers then host three Valley matches in a row in early October with Missouri State on October 2, Southern Illinois on October 3 and Valparaiso on October 5.
A three-match road swing begins at Drake on October 9 followed by Evansville on October 16 and Indiana State October 17. The Panthers host Illinois State on October 23 and Bradley on October 24.
