EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern volleyball's home contests against Maryland and Ohio State on Oct. 13th and 14th have been moved to DePaul's McGrath-Phillips Arena, the team announced Wednesday.
Opened in 2000, McGrath-Phillips Arena is home to the Blue Demons' volleyball and women's basketball programs. Located on DePaul's Lincoln Park campus in Chicago, the arena seats 3,000 spectators.
The two Big Ten contests are the back half of a four game homestand for the Wildcats that starts with matches against Indiana and Purdue on Oct. 6th and 8th, respectively. Those two matches — and the rest of NU's home slate — will be played at historic Beardsley Gym at Evanston Township High School due to the $110 million renovation of Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Northwestern has started the 2017 season on a tear, posting a 10-2 record in nonconference play, including a three-set sweep over Duke, who was receiving votes in the AVCA poll. The 'Cats open Big Ten play Sept. 20 against Purdue in West Lafayette, Indiana.
