MACON, Ga. – The Mercer Athletics Department and head volleyball coach Derek Schroeder released the 2019 women's beach volleyball schedule Friday afternoon. The 12-match schedule includes five home games and eight league contests in the ASUN Conference.
 
Mercer opens the regular season on March 22-23 with the Huntingdon College Beach Tournament, facing Carson-Newman, Principia College and Huntingdon College. Mercer will then play five consecutive home matches against Jacksonville State (March 29), North Florida (April 5 & 6) and Jacksonville (April 5 & 6).  The Bears' remaining four regular season contests include a pair of ASUN matches against Stetson and FGCU on April 10-12.

Mercer went 9-16 overall and 3-7 in ASUN play in its seventh season of beach volleyball last spring. The team welcomes one new Bear, Olivia Boeve, to the team this year while returning six true beach players.
