JERSEY CITY, N.J. | The New Jersey City University women's volleyball program has unveiled its 2025 schedule under the guidance of new head coach Britni Jaskot. The Gothic Knights will compete in five tri-matches throughout the season, opening the year on the road before debuting at home in early September.
"I'm incredibly excited for the upcoming season," said head coach Britni Jaskot. "NJCU Women's Volleyball has a strong foundation with talented returners and three promising incoming freshmen. We are also welcoming three impactful transfers who I believe will make an immediate difference on the court."
The season begins Friday, August 29 in New York City, as NJCU takes on John Jay and Colby-Sawyer in a tri-match hosted by John Jay College. The Gothic Knights make their 2025 home debut on Wednesday, September 3 at 7:00 p.m. against Pratt Institute at the John J. Moore Athletics and Fitness Center.
"While we'll be a smaller roster this year, the team is full of hardworking, committed athletes who are ready to give everything they've got," said Jaskot. "One of our transfers, Diane Pugay, brings valuable experience from DeSales and will be a strong all-around presence for us. Kai Fitzpatrick adds grit, intelligence, and the kind of energy that lifts a team."
September's early home schedule also features matchups against Cairn (Sept. 6) and Wilkes (Sept. 11) before the Gothic Knights hit the road for a tri-match at Penn State Berks with Wilkes on September 13. Additional road contests follow at SUNY Maritime (Sept. 16) and Penn State Harrisburg for a tri-match with Pitt-Greensburg (Sept. 20).
On her experience from playing in the NJAC, Jaskot had this to say. "Transitioning from playing in the NJAC to now coaching in it is truly special. I'm especially looking forward to our matchup against Kean—my alma mater—which will be a full-circle moment for me."
NJAC play begins Tuesday, September 23 when Rutgers-Newark visits Jersey City.The home stretch continues against St. Elizabeth (Sept. 25) and Alvernia (Sept. 27) before the Gothic Knights travel to Ramapo (Sept. 30). October features key NJAC matchups against Montclair State (Oct. 2, home), Rutgers-Camden (Oct. 14, away), Stockton (Oct. 21, home), William Paterson (Oct. 23, away), and Kean (Oct. 28, away).
