WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — William & Mary volleyball returns to Kaplan Arena this weekend as they host Northeastern in CAA action. The first match will get underway at 5 p.m. on Friday, with the second match to follow on Saturday at 1 p.m.
The matches will not be streamed. Live stats will be available along with live updates from @WMTribeVB on social media.
CLEAR BAG POLICY AND METAL DETECTORS
Furthering its commitment to a first class and secure environment at home athletic events, William & Mary will implement the use of walk-through metal detectors at the entrances to athletic venues (both ticketed and non-ticketed events) beginning in the fall of 2025. This enhanced security method mirrors standard practice at most major professional and intercollegiate athletic events throughout the country and compliments the Clear Bag Policy already in place. Fans will proceed through metal detectors prior to having their tickets scanned or entering a venue for non-tickets events. Entrants will not need to remove items such as belts, cell phones, coins, jackets, jewelry, watches, wallets, shoes or other small objects. If additional screening is necessary, security staff will ask the individual to proceed to a secondary screening area, where they will be asked to divest themselves of certain items and pass through again until clear.
PROMOTIONS
Saturday is the Halloween Match and camper reunion. Fans can paint pumpkins pregame on the concourse located on the north side of the arena. Players will be available to sign autographs after the match.
