Goldey-Beacom Volleyball Announces 2017 Schedule


Goldey-Beacom’s volleyball squad took great strides a season ago and now looks for even bigger things in 2017 as the team’s schedule was released.


The season opens September 1 against Salem International in West Chester and continues that night vs. Millersville. GBC the next day continues in Ramfest against Franklin Pierce and West Chester.


Play in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference begins September 13 at Chestnut Hill, one of three road matches to open league competition. One of those matches is September 22 against reigning league champion Thomas Jefferson, the former Philadelphia University.
