"Our 2025 Duke Volleyball schedule includes preseason matches that will help us prepare and gel as a team for our challenging ACC schedule," Nagel said. " Our opening match with High Point is an Exhibition, which takes place during Freshmen Orientation. We hope to get the freshmen there to experience Cameron for the first time for a great atmosphere for our opponents and our team as we begin our seasons.  Our preseason schedule includes opponents from different regions which is great come NCAA selection time. Competing against two SEC opponents on the road will be challenging tests that will help prepare us for tough road environments in the ACC.  We're excited to open our ACC slate at home, and we look forward to another exciting and challenging season."
