Men's Volleyball News & Notes
» Click to fill out the recruiting questionnaire « The Vassar men's volleyball team gained varsity status in 1981 and quickly established itself as one of the top programs in the East.
The regular season schedule features opponents from all levels of the NCAA. Vassar competes against Ivy League foe Harvard as well as other eastern powers like Juniata, New York University and Springfield. Vassar's season begins in January and ends in late March. With a trip to post season, the schedule can extend into April. An important factor in Vassar's success has been the program's ability to attract top scholar-athletes. Conferences and associations routinely include Brewer athletes in both academic all-conference as well as all-conference lists. Practice begins in late October and is held daily, with players expected to attend unless there is an academic conflict. Players are generally on the court for two hours; combined with preparation and post-practice activity, the total commitment is about three hours a day.

Competing in the rugged Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, the Brewers made consecutive trips to the EIVA Division III Championship in 2000 and 2001. Last year's trip saw Vassar finish second and earn its first berth in the Molten Division III Men's Volleyball Championship. In the opening round, the Brewers fell to eventual national champions Springfield in five hotly contested games. Against Clarke College in the consolation match, Vassar lost 3-1.
