BOCA RATON, Fla. – Mean Green volleyball ventures to the Sunshine State for a pair of American Conference matches beginning at Florida Atlantic on Friday at 5 p.m. CT on ESPN+ from Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena.

UNT (11-3, 1-1) visits the Owls (10-5, 1-1) for the first time since Sept. 23, 2022, when it swept FAU in straight sets. North Texas travels to South Florida (6-7, 2-0) on Sunday at noon CT on ESPN+ from The Corral.

"To be successful this weekend we have to be really comfortable with who we are and what our strengths are," head coach Dave Fleming said. "We have to serve tough, pass the ball well, have good floor defense and make plays at the net."
