DRAKE BULLDOGS WOMEN'S VOLLEYBALL

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Drake University's volleyball program competes in the Missouri Valley Conference as part of the university's athletic offerings in Des Moines, where the school has operated since its 1881 founding with a current enrollment of 4,774 students. The Bulldogs compete during the fall season at their home venue, representing a program integrated into Drake's broader Division I-FCS athletic structure across the MVC. With coaching staff leading the squad through conference competition, the team balances the demands of NCAA Division I volleyball while maintaining Drake's commitment to student-athlete development in one of the Midwest's most competitive mid-major conferences.

The Missouri Valley Conference places Drake among programs with significant regional recruiting reach and conference scheduling that spans the central United States. Playing volleyball at the Division I level requires Drake athletes to manage rigorous practice schedules, travel demands, and academic obligations across a student body of fewer than 5,000 undergraduates. The program's home venue serves as the primary site for Drake volleyball operations, hosting both regular-season conference matches and non-conference opponents throughout the fall calendar.
