MSU's 10-match non-conference slate features five home matches and includes the third annual Kathy DeBoer Invitational presented by Auto-Owners Insurance. The Spartans' first two home matches will be played at the Breslin Center, while Jenison Field House will host the 2025 edition of the Kathy DeBoer Invitational, marking the first volleyball matches in the facility since 2021.Â
The Spartans' 2025 non-conference opponents combined for three regular-season titles, two conference tournament crowns and a pair of NCAA Tournament First Round appearances in 2024.Â
"We're beginning this fall with a diversity of opponents, leading into an always-competitive Big Ten schedule," said Kelsay. "Our schedule is unique in that we're playing a number of weekday matches, often similar to our Big Ten schedule, and several weekday matches on the road."Â
MSU kicks off 2025 action at home on Aug. 30 against Merrimack and hosts defending Northeast regular season and tournament champion Chicago State on Aug. 31. Four-straight road contests and a neutral site match then await the Spartans, beginning with midweek tilts at Evansville on Sept. 3 and Southern Indiana on Sept. 4.Â
An in-state matchup against 2024 NCAA Tournament participant and MAC Tournament champion Western Michigan is set for Sept. 8 in Kalamazoo. MSU then travels to Kennesaw, Georgia, for the Kennesaw State Invitational, taking on the host Owls on Sept. 11 before a neutral-site matchup against Appalachian State on Sept. 12.Â
In honor of alumni weekend, the Spartans will return to Jenison Field House for the first time in four seasons to host the 2025 edition of the Kathy DeBoer Invitational presented by Auto-Owners Insurance. Action begins on Sept. 18 against 2024 American East regular season champion Binghamton and continues Sept. 19 against defending MAC regular season champion Bowling Green. MSU concludes the Kathy DeBoer Invitational and non-conference play against SIUE on Sept. 20.Â
"I'm fired up to welcome our alumni back into Jenison Field House this fall," said Kelsay. "Our program value of our Spartan Family will be on display as we welcome these incredible women back into the arena they once played in. It's important for our student-athletes to understand the foundation these women laid for the success that is to come. I hope everyone can join us back in a weekend at Jenison to close out our non-conference."Â
MSU's 20-match Big Ten schedule begins Sept. 25 at Minnesota.Â
Times and television designations will be available at a later date. Â
