The University of Washington volleyball team will play host to two home tournaments and will travel to Honolulu for the 2008 season, according to the schedule released Wednesday.
Also, Washington was recently selected as the West Regional site, one of four sites picked by the NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Committee. The NCAA tournament opens with first and second round games Dec. 4-6.
The Huskies will play in four tournaments before the start of Pac-10 Conference play on Sept. 26.
Washington opens the season with a two-day tournament in Bozeman, Mont., from Aug. 29-30. The Huskies then will host the Northwest Challenge Sept. 4-6. The UW will be joined at the tournament by Gonzaga, Boise State and Portland State.
The Huskies travel to the Rainbow Wahine Invitational from Sept. 11-13 at the University of Hawaii.
The final tournament is Sept. 18-19, and will be hosted by both the Huskies and Seattle University.
