2013 Schedule 2013 Opponent Information
Eastern Illinois: Neutral | Aug. 31 | 10:00 a.m.
The 2013 schedule is filled with quality opponents. The Mountain-
eers will play 17 matches against teams who finished in the top 100 of the final RPI rankings for the 2012 season, including two matches against the defending national champion Texas Longhorns. Also, 12 of WVU’s 17 noncoference opponents will return at least five starters from 2012. “We love playing in the Big 12 because we know what we are getting every match - a very high-level of volleyball,” Kramer says. “We believe you have to play the best in order to become the best. The environments we play in while in the Big 12 are also some of the best in the country truly college volleyball at its best!”
With no conference tournament and their sights set on the
NCAA Tournament, the second half of Big 12 play could determine the Mountaineers’ postseason chances.
