BENGAL SPORTS TO FILL YOUR CALENDAR

Volleyball gameISU Students should have no excuse this fall for claiming “there’s nothing to do” or “I’m bored”.

The Fall sports schedule will give students exciting “out-of-classroom” activities, and the best part is that students get in free!

Here are the breakdowns of the team home schedules for the 2017 Fall semester:

FOOTBALL

The Bengals are, once again, picked to finish at the bottom of the Big Sky Conference this season.

But with a favorable schedule, lack of key injuries, new head coach and a slew of returning players, like 2014 this could be a break-out year for ISU. Don’t miss a game!

VOLLEYBALL

Under the direction of head coach Rick Reynolds, the Bengals take on maybe their toughest schedule ever with road games against Virginia Tech, Wisconsin, South Dakota State, Michigan, Colorado State, Oregon State, Minnesota and Boise State.

If they survive, they’ll have a home slate that features just one non-Big Sky foe, Utah Valley.

Here’s the home match schedule:
