CHESTER, Pa. – Head Women's Volleyball Coach Donovan Anglin announced Widener's 2023 schedule which includes 11 home matches in the Schwartz Athletic Center. The Pride return after a 13-14 (5-3 MAC Commonwealth) last Fall.
 
Among the returning is all three MAC All-Conference players. These include Second Team MAC All-Conference Megan Barthol and Honorable Mention MAC All-Conference Rachel DiCarlo and Shannon Toomey. In addition to the returning, the Pride welcome a handful of first-years.

The Pride welcome Haverford to the Schwartz Center for the first contest on home ground of the season on September 6. To open MAC Commonwealth play, the Blue and Gold host Messiah on September 20 where they upset the Falcons for the first time since 2008 with a 3-1 to help secure the third seed.
