Volleyball Schedule Update in Provo

PROVO, Utah – Duke’s match against Rider on Saturday in the doTERRA Classic will be played at an alternate location in Provo, Utah. The match, originally scheduled to be played at BYU’s Smith Fieldhouse, will begin at 6pm ET. 

“First and foremost, our priority is the well-being of Duke student-athletes,” said Duke Vice President & Director of Athletics Nina King. “They should always have the opportunity to compete in an inclusive, anti-racist environment which promotes equality and fair play.  Following extremely unfortunate circumstances at Friday night’s match at BYU, we are compelled to shift today’s match against Rider to a different location to afford both teams the safest atmosphere for competition.  We are appreciative of the support from BYU’s athletic administration as we navigate this troubling situation. I have been in touch with the student-athletes who have been deeply impacted, will continue to support them in every way possible and look forward to connecting further upon their return from Provo.”
