Volleyball 38.5 YEAR-BY-YEAR MATCH SCORES

Volleyball’s first tenure as a varsity sport began in 1972 and ended in 1983. The second tenure began in 1999 and continues today. Although the seasonal records (13-0 and 13-2) of the 1972 and 1973 teams are accurate, an exhaustive search failed to provide scores of individual matches. The schedules of both seasons consisted primarily of matches vs. in-state opponents UMFK, UMM, UMF, UMA, UMPG, UMPI, Bates, and Westbrook Colleges. Scores of most matches in 1976 also could not be located, although the seasonal record is accurate.
