Good morning. Another day, another play made at football camp. See what skills the team is bringing to the field just 16 days before kickoff.

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏐 Volleyball has a home exhibition game tonight
⚽️ Soccer plays first match of regular season tonight
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Happening Now. No plans tonight, right? Wrong! Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum is where you should be tonight at 6:00pm ET for the volleyball team’s one and only exhibition match against Elon. And the best part? (Well, besides getting to see the Pirates in action…) Admission is free.

Come see the nine newcomers on the team and other familiar faces like Angeles Alderete, who earned AAC Freshman of the Year honors last season.

🏐 Stay updated on the volleyball schedule here.

🔼 Anotha’ One. Can’t break away for some volleyball. We’ve got you. The soccer team matches up against Florida tonight at 7:00pm ET and you can watch it on the SECN+. This is the regular season opener after splitting a pair of exhibition matches and this will be a rematch of last year’s match when we beat the Gators by a score of 2-1.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Sweet 16. It’s 16 days until kickoff so let’s take a look at who we’re playing on Saturday, September 16th this year.

Their mascot is named Yosef, and the last time we played this team we travelled to Bank of America Stadium for the game.

Today’s question—do you know who it is?
