The Heat women will open the season against last year’s national bronze medalists, the Alberta Pandas Oct. 25. Two members of last year’s UBCO team earned conference rookie status and return to the team this year with the Heat looking to start the season on the right foot.
The women’s team will play eight straight matches against playoff teams from last year to start the 2019-2020 season.

The 2019-2020 season schedule is favourable for the men’s Heat volleyball team, with 12 home games throughout the year. The men take on the Alberta Golden Bears as Alberta looks for a 20th straight trip to the national championships, and the Heat look to make significant steps forward in the program this year.
