The Rainbow Warriors will then remain on the mainland for matches against UC San Diego on Feb. 24 and 25.
All three are members of the Big West, but the matches will not count toward the league standings.
The league schedule officially begins in mid-March with each series played on back-to-back nights. But Big West teams are allowed to meet each other for “non-conference” matches ahead of the official start to league play or as an addition to the in-season, two-match series.
The Rainbow Warriors have not played since last March when their 2020 Big West opener against Cal State Northridge was canceled because of the pandemic.
Feb. 21-22 — At UC Irvine
