Two volleyball contests dot the schedule as well as 14 soccer matches, seven for the men and an equal number for the women. Action begins at 4 p.m. for sport doubleheaders hosted by Olivet and Adrian while Hope starts its doubleheader an hour later. Three other schools, Albion, Saint Mary’s and Trine, host single events while Alma, Calvin and Kalamazoo begin on the road.

Adrian has three fall teams in action tonight including volleyball as well as men’s and women’s soccer.
