The program qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time since 2019. Qualifying for a second consecutive season will be no small task: the Dores face 15 teams who made last year’s NCAA Tournament. This includes a road matchup Feb. 22 against national runner-up Texas, which also marks the team’s SEC opener.
Vanderbilt takes to the road on Jan. 19 for an away contest against Michigan State. The Dores then travel to Durham, North Carolina for ITA Kickoff Weekend Jan. 25-26. Vanderbilt will host Belmont and Southern Indiana to open February, then travel to Middle Tennessee on Feb. 5 and take on Northwestern at home Feb. 7.
After kicking off conference play against Texas, the Commodores have a road trip against LSU, Auburn, and Alabama. Vanderbilt’s first SEC home match is set for March 6 against South Carolina.
The Dores will then take a break from conference play for a cross country trip to Malibu, California to face Pepperdine on March 9. Afterwards, Vanderbilt will have three out of four SEC matches at home: Mississippi State, Texas A&M, and Florida, with Kentucky the lone road match in the mix. The month comes to a close with away contests at Georgia on March 27 and Tennessee on March 29.
Vanderbilt is set to end the season with three straight home conference matches against Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Oklahoma on senior day.
The SEC Tournament hosted by South Carolina will run April 16-20. NCAA Regionals are set to follow afterwards beginning May 2. Baylor will host the final eight teams in the NCAA Championships May 15-18.
