DENTON – UNT volleyball opens its 2025 home schedule against Little Rock on Friday at 7 p.m. on ESPN+ from the UNT Volleyball Center.
Along with UT Arlington, the Mean Green will co-host the UNT-UTA Invitational with three matches at the UNT Volleyball Center on Friday before the Mavericks host the following two days at College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.
"I've heard we have a great home environment," head coach Dave Fleming said. "I hope we have a packed house in there; it's going to be a lot of fun for me to see that for the first time. I really like that our gym is the kind of place that other teams don't want to play in."
