Head Coach Michaela Franklin, who will coach her first match for the Tigers on Aug. 25 at Jervey Gym, made the announcement on Wednesday.

“We are excited to release our 2017 schedule,” said Franklin. “I’m looking forward to playing majority of our season at home in Jervey Gym, and also to the challenge we will face when playing on the road.”
