Two Volleyball Matches to be Nationally Televised
8/7/2025 10:28:00 AM | Volleyball
The Syracuse Volleyball program will play two matches on a nationally televised broadcast this season, with the ACC Network picking up the rights to a pair of October matches, ESPN announced on Thursday.
Â
The Orange will have one home nationally televised game, which will take place on October 19 at 2:00 PM before they hit the road for a match against Boston College on October 22 at 7:00 PM. Both will air on the ACC Network.
Â
The Orange and Tar Heels will meet for the 17th time in the two programs' histories. The Tar Heels have the edge in the all-time series with 13 wins to the Orange's three. The clash with Boston College serves as the 56th all-time battle between the Orange and the Eagles, with Syracuse owning a strong 39-15 lead in the series.
Â
The Orange are coming off the heels of a season in which they went 15-17 and dominated their way to a 12-0 record during non-conference play. Entering his fourth season at the helm, Head Coach Bakeer Ganesharatnam brings a new look roster to 2025. Syracuse added 10 new student athletes to the fray, including three freshmen and seven transfers.
Â
Senior Gabriella McLaughlin and junior Tehya Maeva join Syracuse after having played at the University of Nevada, Reno. McLaughlin was an All-Mountain West selection a year ago after leading the Wolfpack with 443 kills on the year. Maeva, a setter, teamed up with McLaughlin for a number of those kills after she led Nevada with 895 assists. Maeva paced the Wolfpack in aces, posting 29 in 2024.
Â
Of those returning, redshirt-sophomore Skylar George is back after finishing second on the team in kills with 258 while also posting seven double-doubles. Junior Veronica Sierzant will also return for the Orange after leading the wat with 659 assists.
Â
The remaining television designations will be announced at a later date. For more information about the Syracuse Volleyball program, visit Cuse.com.
