ABERDEEN, S.D. – Thanks to a new game sponsorship program, all ten Northern State University home volleyball matches will feature free admission to all fans.  The free admission stems from a new sponsorship initiative in which area businesses “buy out” a home match.

“We're pretty excited about it,” said NSU head coach Lisa Schriver, the driving force behind the initiative.  “The hope is that this will help encourage attendance, especially for families with younger children or budding volleyball players.”

The 2010 home slate kicks off this weekend with matches against Concordia-St. Paul on Friday and St. Cloud State on Saturday.  Friday's match tips off at 7 p.m. while first serve on Saturday is set for 6 p.m. in the Barnett Center.  A complete schedule of home matches can be found here.

NSU will also be hosting an All-Volleyball Reunion this weekend in conjunction with the annual Gypsy Days celebration.  Contact Schriver at 605-626-7729 for more information.
