Schedule Now Set for 2026 Bell AUS Women’s Volleyball Championship Semifinals
Four teams begin the road to the AUS title and the conference’s lone berth at nationals.
The semifinal round of the 2026 Bell AUS Women's Volleyball Championship gets underway Thursday, Feb. 19, with two best-of-three series set to determine this year's finalists.
The top-seeded UNB REDS enter the postseason undefeated at 20-0 — first team in Atlantic University Sport women's volleyball history to win 20 games in a season and the first to finish a season unbeaten since the 1999-2000 Memorial Sea-Hawks. That team went 18-0.
They will host the fourth-seeded Dalhousie Tigers, who finished the regular season with a 9-11 record.
In the other semifinal, the second-seeded Memorial Sea-Hawks (11-9) welcome the defending champion Saint Mary's Huskies (10-10) in what promises to be a tightly contested series.
