The Women of Troy will play seven non-conference matches at Galen Center in the months of August and September
LOS ANGELES – The USC women's volleyball team unveiled its 2025 schedule on Wednesday (May 28). The Women of Troy—in their second season as members of the Big Ten—will play a 20-match conference schedule and has 10 non-league contests all in Southern California to open their sixth year under head coach Brad Keller.
The Trojans open the new season as host to Denver on a Friday night (Aug. 29) at Galen Center. USC then plays its first road contest at Loyola Marymount's Gersten Pavilion on Aug. 31.
The Women of Troy host UC Santa Barbara, San Diego, and Creighton for a six-match tournament at Galen Center Sept. 5-7 and then return to Gersten Pavilion for a tournament hosted by LMU Sept. 11-12. There, the Trojans take on BYU and Western Michigan. USC closes non-conference play with a pair of matches against LSU at Galen Center (Sept. 18-19) and then wraps up the 10-match non-league slate with California—a former Pac-12 foe—on Sept. 21.
USC gets into the 20-match Big Ten schedule with a road trip to face defending NCAA champion Penn State (Sept. 26) and Ohio State (Sept. 27). In all, the Trojans will play 14 matches against teams that made appearances in the 2024 NCAA tournament.
USC faces crosstown rival UCLA, Oregon, and Washington twice each—once at home and once on the road—and matches up with each of the other 14 conference teams once.
Amond other road opponents, USC will visit Iowa (Oct. 17) and Wisconsin (Oct. 19) for a long midseason trip. The Trojans get a one-off road match at Minnesota (Nov. 1) and then close the season with a road trip to Michigan to take on the Spartans (Nov. 26) in East Lansing and the Wolverines (Nov. 28) in Ann Arbor during Thanksgiving week.
At home, USC hosts its first Big Ten opponents when Indiana (Oct. 3) and Purdue (Oct. 4) visit Galen Center. Maryland makes the cross-country trek to face the Trojans on Oct. 23 and then Northwestern visits on Nov. 6. Rutgers (Nov. 14) and Nebraska (Nov. 15) come to Galen Center in mid-November and then USC hosts Illinois (Nov. 22) for Senior Night.
Match times will be determined by television selections, which will be announced later. Any non-televised Big Ten matches and home non-conference contests will be carried live on Big Ten Plus.
Last season, the Women of Troy were awarded the sixth seed and made their 40th all-time appearance in the NCAA tournament. USC (22-10) defeated UT Arlington in a three-set sweep in the first round to advance to the second round for the 35th time. There, the Trojans were eliminated by third-seeded and 13th-ranked site host Texas in straight sets. USC reached 20 wins for the second time under Keller to earn its third consecutive berth in the tourney. Setter Mia Tuaniga set a new school record for career assists and was named to the AVCA All-America third team. She and outside hitter Ally Batenhorst were each AVCA All-Region choices and were taken with picks in the PVF Draft.
