IRVINE, Calif. – As the men's volleyball team returns home from an epic 18-day Asian Tour, UC Irvine announces it will return the hospitality and host Shanghai Golden Age October 2 at 7:00 p.m. in the Bren Events Center.
The match completes the first-ever home-and-home international competition. The top professional team from China last visited the Bren Center in 2015 when Shanghai Golden Age beat UCI 3-1 (29-27, 25-22, 22-25, 25-21) in front of crowd of 1,215 fans.
"UC Irvine ranks as one of the top-academic institutions in the world, maintains a championship relevant men's volleyball program and, as a public institution, should engage the local and global communities in whatever medium is available," head coach David Kniffin said. "The opportunity to do this through sport cannot be missed. I am grateful to campus leadership for understanding this opportunity."
