2014 Big West Fall ESPN 3 Schedule
The Big West Conference announced that 13 events will be distributed on ESPN3 this fall, beginning on September 26 when CSUN visits Cal State Fullerton for a women’s volleyball contest.
In all, 11 women’s volleyball and two women’s soccer contests will comprise the fall slate in year two of a unique collaboration between the Big West and ESPN to produce up to 60 events annually on ESPN3.
All nine conference schools will be featured at least once in the package.
Hawai‘i, picked to win the Big West by the nine conference head coaches and tabbed No. 17 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association preseason poll, renews a longtime rivalry with Long Beach State at the Walter Pyramid on Saturday, October 11, in the first of three road appearances for the defending conference tri-champions.
Coming off a 24-win season and the program’s first-ever share of the conference title, CSUN also travels to Long Beach State and UC Riverside, and serves as host to UC Davis. Fellow Big West tri-champion UC Santa Barbara appears twice on the women’s volleyball schedule – on Friday, October 10 at UC Irvine and Saturday, November 15 at Long Beach State.
The two ESPN3 women’s soccer contests will include UC Santa Barbara at UC Irvine on Sunday, October 19 and the regular season finale on Sunday, November 2, showcasing Cal Poly at Cal State Fullerton, a matchup between last year’s Big West regular season and tournament champions, respectively.
